A straight line L=0 passes through  the point 5,4  is inclined at an angle of 60o to the line 3x+y3=0 ,then the equation of the line L=0 is

a
y+4=0
b
3x−y−53−4=0
c
y+4=0,3x−y−53−4=0
d
y−4=0,3x+y−53−4=0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The equation of any line which makes an angle  α with the line ax+by+c=0 and passing through the point x1,y1is y−y1=tanθ±αx−x1 here  tanθ=−abHere tanθ=−31⇒θ=120°  and  α=60°Equations of the required lines are y+4=tan120°±60°x−5It implies that y+4=tan180°x−5y+4=0ory+4=tan60°x−5y+4=3x−5Therefore, the equations of the required lines are y+4=0,3x−y−53−4=0
