JEE MainMathematicsStraight Lines and Pair of Straight LinesMCQ+4 / −1
A line passing through the point makes an angle of with the positive direction of -axis. If this line is rotated about A through an angle of in the clockwise direction, then its equation in the new position is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Initial line angle
A line makes an angle of with the positive -axis. So its inclination is
- Rotate clockwise by
Clockwise rotation decreases the angle, so the new inclination is
- Slope of the new line
The slope is Using the standard value,
So the new line passes through with slope .
- Equation using point-slope form
Using point : Thus,
- Rearrange to match options
Expand: Bring terms together:
Now divide by :
Since this form directly matches
- Compare with options
This is exactly Option D.
Therefore, the required equation is
