The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -4) and makes an angle of 60 degrees with the positive direction of the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the slope of the line The slope \( m \) of a line that makes an angle \( \theta \) with the positive x-axis can be calculated using the formula: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] Given that \( \theta = 60^\circ \): \[ m = \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 2: Use the point-slope form of the line equation The point-slope form of the equation of a line is given by: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line. Here, \( (x_1, y_1) = (3, -4) \) and \( m = \sqrt{3} \). ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the equation Substituting the values into the point-slope form: \[ y - (-4) = \sqrt{3}(x - 3) \] This simplifies to: \[ y + 4 = \sqrt{3}(x - 3) \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation to isolate \( y \): \[ y + 4 = \sqrt{3}x - 3\sqrt{3} \] Subtracting 4 from both sides gives: \[ y = \sqrt{3}x - 3\sqrt{3} - 4 \] ### Step 5: Write the equation in standard form To express the equation in standard form, we can rearrange it: \[ \sqrt{3}x - y - (3\sqrt{3} + 4) = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \sqrt{3}x - y = 3\sqrt{3} + 4 \] ### Final Equation Thus, the equation of the line is: \[ \sqrt{3}x - y = 3\sqrt{3} + 4 \]
