A straight line L at a distance of 4 units from the origin makes positive intercepts on the coordinate axes and the perpendicular from the origin to this line makes an angle of 60 ° with the line x + y = 0 . Then an equation of the line L is: Note: In actual JEE Main paper, two options were correct for this question. Hence, we have changed one option.

Question

A straight line L at a distance of 4 units from the origin makes positive intercepts on the coordinate axes and the perpendicular from the origin to this line makes an angle of 60 ° with the line x + y = 0 . Then an equation of the line L is: Note: In actual JEE Main paper, two options were correct for this question. Hence, we have changed one option., 3 + 1 x + 3 - 1 y = 8 2, x + 3 y = 8, 3 x + y = 8, 3 - 1 x + 3 y = 8 2

Hence, equation of required line using normal form is x c o s 15 ° + y s i n 15 ° = 4 or x c o s 75 ° + y s i n 75 ° = 4 ⇒ ( 3 + 1 ) x + ( 3 - 1 ) y = 8 2 or ( 3 - 1 ) x + ( 3 + 1 ) y = 8 2
