Find the equation of a line which passes through 2cos3θ,2sin3θ and is perpendicular to the line xcosθ-ysinθ=2cos2θ.
  1. xsecθ+ycosecθ=2
  2. xcosecθ+ysecθ=2
  3. xsinθ+ycosθ=2
  4. xcosθ+ysinθ=2

Solution

Given line is

xcosθ-ysinθ=2cos2θ ....1

 Slope of line 1 is cosθsinθ

Slope of line perpendicular to line 1 is -sinθcosθ

[ If m1& m2 are slope of perpendicular lines then m1.m2=-1]

Equation of line passing through 2cos3θ,2sin3θ & perpendicular to line 1 is

y-2sin3θ=-sinθcosθx-2cos3θ

 ycosθ-2sin3θ.cosθ=-xsinθ+2cos3θ.sinθ

 xsinθ+ycosθ=2cos3θ.sinθ+2sin3θ.cosθ

 xsinθ+ycosθ=2sinθ.cosθcos2θ+sin2θ

 xsinθsinθ.cosθ+ycosθsinθcosθ=2

 xsecθ+ycosecθ=2
