The equation of line cutting of an intercept -3 from the y-axis and inclined at an angle `tan^-1 (3/5)` to the x-axis is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know, equation of a line can be given by,
`y = mx+c`
Here, `theta = tan^(-1)(3/5)=> tantheta = 3/5`
So, `m = tantheta = 3/5`
Also, we are given, `c = -3`
So, our equation becomes,
`y = 3/5x-3`
`=>3x-5y -15 = 0`
