Question 1 Find the values of š and p, if the equation is the normal form of the line ā3x + y + 2 = 0 . ā3x + y + 2 = 0 2 = ā ā3x ā y āā3x ā y = 2 Dividing by ā((āā3)2 + (ā1)2) = ā(3+1) = ā4 = 2 both sides (āā3 š„)/2 ā š¦/2 = 2/2 (āā3 š„)/2 ā š¦/2 = 1 Normal form is x cos š + y sin š = p Where p is the perpendicular distance from origin & š is the angle between perpendicular & the positive x-axis ((āā3)/2)š„ + ((ā1)/2)y = 1 Normal form of any line is x cos š + y sin š = p Comparing (1) & (2)a p = 1 & cos Ļ = (āā3)/2 & sin Ļ = (ā1)/2 Now, finding Ļ ā“ Ļ = 180° + 30° = 210° Rough Ignoring signs cos Īø = ā3/2 & sin Īø = 1/2 So, Īø = 30° As sin & cos both are negative, ā“ Ļ will lie in 3rd quadrant, So, Ļ = 180° + 30° So, the normal form of line is x cos 210° + y sin 210° = 1 Hence, Angle = 210° = 210 Ć š/(180° ) = šš /š & Perpendicular Distance = p = 1
