The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the straight lines that pass through the origin and are inclined at \(75^\circ\) to the given line \(x + y + \sqrt{3}(y - x) = a\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearranging the Given Line First, we need to rearrange the given equation to find its slope. The equation is: \[ x + y + \sqrt{3}(y - x) = a \] Expanding this, we have: \[ x + y + \sqrt{3}y - \sqrt{3}x = a \] Combining like terms: \[ (1 - \sqrt{3})x + (1 + \sqrt{3})y = a \] ### Step 2: Finding the Slope of the Given Line From the rearranged equation, we can express it in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + c\): \[ (1 + \sqrt{3})y = a + (1 - \sqrt{3})x \] Thus, the slope \(m_1\) of the given line is: \[ m_1 = \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 3: Using the Angle Between Lines Formula Let \(m_2\) be the slope of the line we want to find. The angle \(\theta\) between the two lines is given as \(75^\circ\). The formula for the tangent of the angle between two lines is: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] Substituting \(\theta = 75^\circ\): \[ \tan 75^\circ = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] Thus, we have: \[ 2 + \sqrt{3} = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] ### Step 4: Setting Up the Equation Substituting \(m_1\) into the equation: \[ 2 + \sqrt{3} = \left| \frac{\frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} - m_2}{1 + \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} m_2} \right| \] ### Step 5: Solving for \(m_2\) We will solve the equation for \(m_2\) considering both cases of the modulus: 1. \(2 + \sqrt{3} = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}\) 2. \(2 + \sqrt{3} = -\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}\) ### Step 6: Finding the Two Possible Slopes After solving these equations, we will find two possible values for \(m_2\): 1. \(m_2 = -\sqrt{3}\) 2. \(m_2 = \infty\) (which corresponds to a vertical line) ### Step 7: Writing the Equations of the Lines 1. For \(m_2 = -\sqrt{3}\): \[ y = -\sqrt{3}x \implies \sqrt{3}x + y = 0 \] 2. For \(m_2 = \infty\): \[ x = 0 \quad \text{(the y-axis)} \] ### Final Answer The equations of the lines that pass through the origin and are inclined at \(75^\circ\) to the given line are: 1. \(\sqrt{3}x + y = 0\) 2. \(x = 0\) (the y-axis) ---
