The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight line through the origin that makes an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the line given by the equation \(x + \sqrt{3}y + 3\sqrt{3} = 0\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the slope of the given line The given line can be rewritten in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\). Starting from the equation: \[ x + \sqrt{3}y + 3\sqrt{3} = 0 \] we can isolate \(y\): \[ \sqrt{3}y = -x - 3\sqrt{3} \] \[ y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x - 3 \] From this, we can see that the slope \(m_1\) of the given line is: \[ m_1 = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 2: Use the angle formula to find the slope of the required line We know that the angle \(\theta\) between two lines with slopes \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) is given by: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \] Given that \(\theta = 60^\circ\), we have: \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] Substituting \(m_1\) and \(\tan(60^\circ)\) into the formula gives: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - m_2}{1 + \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)m_2} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(m_2\) Cross-multiplying to eliminate the fraction: \[ \sqrt{3}(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}m_2) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - m_2 \] Expanding this: \[ \sqrt{3} - m_2 = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} - m_2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sqrt{3} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = 0 \] This leads to: \[ m_2 = \sqrt{3} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}m_2 \] Solving for \(m_2\): \[ m_2(\sqrt{3} + 1) = \sqrt{3} \] \[ m_2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} + 1} \] ### Step 4: Write the equation of the line through the origin Using the point-slope form of the line equation \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) and knowing the line passes through the origin \((0, 0)\): \[ y - 0 = m_2(x - 0) \] Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ y = m_2 x \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(m_2\) to get the final equation Substituting \(m_2\): \[ y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} + 1} x \] ### Final Answer The equation of the required straight line is: \[ y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} + 1} x \]
