Find the equation of a straight line which passes through the point \((-1,-1)\) and makes an angle \(150^{\circ}\) with positive direction of \(X\)-axis.

  1. A \(\sqrt{3} x+y=1\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3} y+x+(1+\sqrt{3})=0\)
  3. C \(x+\sqrt{3} y+(\sqrt{3}-1)=0\)
  4. D \(x+y=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3} y+x+(1+\sqrt{3})=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Now, \(\tan \theta=\tan 150^{\circ}=\tan \left(\pi-30^{\circ}\right)\) \[ =-\tan 30^{\circ}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] \(\therefore\) Slope of given line \(=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) Since, line passes through \((-1,-1)\). \(\therefore\) Equation of line will be…
