Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{(x+1)}{-1 / 2}=\frac{(y-3)}{\sqrt{3} / 2}=r\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of line through the point \(\left(x_1, y_1\right)\) in symmetrical form, if it's inclination with positive direction of \(X\)-axis is \(\theta\) is \[ \frac{x-x_1}{\cos \theta}=\frac{y-y_1}{\sin \theta}=r \] So, the equation of the line in symmetric form where…
