Find the equation of the line, which makes intercepts `3` and 2 on the x and y axes respectively.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`xcostheta +4sintheta = p`
let p=normal distance from origin
`theta`=angle normal makes with +ve x direction
given `P= 4`
`theta=15^@`
since we know that
`cos2theta=2costheta^2-1`
`take theta=15^@`
