QUESTION:
Find the angle made by the line joining (5,3) and (-1,-3) with the positive direction of x?
ANSWER:
The points joining the line are (5,3) and (-1,-3).
Let's find the slope of the line.
m=Δy/Δx
Or,
m=3−(−3)/5−(−1)
m=6/6
Or, m=1
Now, we know that the slope of a straight line is the tangent of the angle made between the x-axis and the line.
Let this angle be θ
Hence,
tanθ=m
tanθ=1
But,
tan45°=1
Hence,
θ=45°
