Find the equation of the line on which the length of the perpendicular segment from the origin to the line is 4 and the inclination of the perpendicular segment with the positive direction of x-axis is 30∘.
The normal form of the equation of the line is x cos ω+y sin ω=p. Here p=4 and ω=30∘. Therefore, the equation of the line is
x cos 30∘+y sin 30∘=4
x√32+y12=4 or √3 x+y=8
