if line joining A (2,0) AND B(3,1) is rotated abt A in anticlockwise direction thru an angle 15 . find equation of the line in new position


slope of the line AB = 1-03-2=1
thus the angle made with the x-axis is 45 deg
let after rotation the point B reaches to the point C.
such that CAB=15
thus the slope of the line CA be tan(45+15)=tan60=3
the coordinates of the point A are (2,0)
therefore the equation of the line CA is:
y-0=3(x-2)3x-y=23

hope this helps you
