Question
The parametric equation of a line is given by $$x = - 2 + \frac{r}{{\sqrt {10} }}$$ and $$y = 1 + 3\frac{r}{{\sqrt {10} }}.$$ Then, for the line :
A.
intercept on the $$x$$-axis $$ = \frac{7}{3}$$
B.
intercept on the $$y$$-axis $$ = - 7$$
C.
slope of the line $$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{3}$$
D.
slope of the line $$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}3$$
Answer :
slope of the line $$ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}3$$
Solution :
The cartesian equation is $$x + 2 = \frac{{y - 1}}{3},\,{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{.}},\,3x - y + 7 = 0.$$
