Question

Reduce the following equations to the normal form and find p and α in each case : x – 3 = 0

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given: x – 3 = 0

Explanation:

⇒ x = 3

⇒ x + 0 × y = 3

Dividing both sides by

⇒ x + 0 × y = 3

Hence, the normal form of the given line, where p = 3, cosα = 1 and sin α = 0

⇒ α = 0
