The equation of lines passing through (3,-2) is (y+2)=m(x-3)       .....(i)

The slope of the given line is -\sqrt{3}

So, \tan 60^{\circ}= \pm \frac{m-(-\sqrt{3})}{1+m(-\sqrt{3})} . On solving, we get m=0 \text { or } \sqrt{3}

Putting the values of m in (i), the required equation is y+2=0 and  \sqrt{3} x-y-2-3 \sqrt{3}=0
