Suppose a line makes an angle of \(120^{\circ}\) with the positive direction of \(X\)-axis. If the length of the perpendicular from origin to that line Is 4 , then the equation of the line is

  1. A \(-\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} x-y=8\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{3} x+y=-8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{3} x+y=8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A line makes an angle of \(120^{\circ}\) with positive direction of \(X\)-axis. Given, \( \begin{aligned} & P=4 \\ & \alpha=120^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=30^{\circ} \end{aligned} \) \(\therefore\) Equation of line is \(x \cos \alpha+y \sin \alpha=P\)…
