Reduce the equation to:

(i) slope - intercept form and find slope and y - intercept;


(ii) Intercept form and find intercept on the axes


(iii) The normal form and find p and α.

(i) Given:


Explanation:



This is the slope intercept form of the given line.


Hence, slope = - 3 and y - intercept = - 2


(ii) Given:


Explanation:



Dividing both sides by - 2



Hence, the intercept form of the given line. Here, x - intercept = - 23 and y - intercept = - 2


(iii) Given:


Explanation:




Dividing both sides by



This is the normal form of the given line.


Hence, p = 1 cos and sinα = - 1/2


Hence, α = 210
