Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The equation of any line passing through the given point P (3, 4) and making an angle 
with x- axis is 
(say) ......(i)
Where ‘ r ’ represents the distance of any point Q on this line from the given point P (3, 4).
The coordinates ( x , y ) of any point Q on line (i) are 
If the point lies on the line 
, then
