Options:
  • A y+3 x+2-33=0
  • B 3 y-x+3+23=0
  • C 3 y+x-3+23=0
  • D y-3x+2+33=0

The correct answer is: y-3x+2+33=0

Let m be the slope of the line,

then tan60o=m+31-m3

3=m+31-3 m

±3=m+31-3 m

3-3m=m+3 or -3+3m=m+3

4m=0 or 2m=23

m=0 or m=3

Since L intersects X-axis we take m=3

and get y=3x+c

Since it passes through 3,-2, therefore line will become  y-3x+2+33=0
