Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

The equation of set of lines which are at a constant distance of 2 units from the origin andαis angle made by perpendicular from origin is

Moderate
Solution

If normal to the line makes an  angle α with x-axis, then equation of line is

xcosα+ysinα=p, where p is distance of line form origin.

Here, p=2

So,  the equation of line is xcosα+ysinα=2.
