The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the straight line that cuts off an intercept of 2 from the negative direction of the y-axis and is inclined at \(30^\circ\) to the positive direction of the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that: - The y-intercept (c) is -2 (since it cuts off 2 from the negative direction of the y-axis). - The angle of inclination (θ) is \(30^\circ\). ### Step 2: Calculate the slope (m) of the line The slope \(m\) of a line can be calculated using the tangent of the angle of inclination: \[ m = \tan(θ) = \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 3: Write the equation of the line The general equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by: \[ y = mx + c \] Substituting the values of \(m\) and \(c\): \[ y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x - 2 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation To express the equation in a standard form, we can multiply through by \(\sqrt{3}\) to eliminate the fraction: \[ \sqrt{3}y = x - 2\sqrt{3} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sqrt{3}y - x + 2\sqrt{3} = 0 \] ### Final Equation Thus, the equation of the straight line is: \[ \sqrt{3}y - x + 2\sqrt{3} = 0 \] ---
