Straight Lines Question 10

Question 10 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)

A line passing through the point $A(9,0)$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the positive direction of $x$-axis. If this line is rotated about $A$ through an angle of $15^{\circ}$ in the clockwise direction, then its equation in the new position is

(1) $\frac{y}{\sqrt{3}-2}+x=9$

(2) $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}-2}+y=9$

(3) $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}+2}+y=9$

(4) $\frac{y}{\sqrt{3}+2}+x=9$

Show Answer

Answer (1)

Solution

$Eq^{n}: y-0=\tan 15^{\circ}(x-9) \Rightarrow y=(2-\sqrt{3})(x-9)$
