Answer

$(60 \sqrt 3,1)$

Work Step by Step

The line passing through the point $ P(a,b,c)$ and parallel to the normal vector $ n=\lt p,q,r\gt $ can be represented by the parametric equations as shown below: $ x=a+pt; y=b+qt; z=c+qt $ Here, $ t \to $ Real number. Now, plug in the data. Therefore, $ x=120 \cos 30^{\circ}=120 \times \dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2} =60 \sqrt 3 \\ y=120 \sin 30^{\circ}-59=1$ So, the point is: $(60 \sqrt 3,1)$
