Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the equation for the line which is passing through origin is given by,

y = mx

Now, m = slope of this equation. So we need to find m in order to finad the equation.

Now we've been given that it makes 30 degree angle. and as we know,

m = tanθ

m = tan(30°)

m = 1 / √3

So, we have our final equation as,

y = (1 / √3 ) * x
