Answer:
Angle made with the positive direction of X-axis (θ) = 45° Slope of the line (m) = tan θ ∴ m = tan 45° = 1 ∴ The slope of the line is 1. ii. Angle made with the positive direction of X-axis (θ) = 60° Slope of the line (m) = tan θ ∴ m = tan 60° = √3 ∴ The slope of the line is √3 iii. Angle made with the positive direction of X-axis (θ) = 90° Slope of the line (m) = tan θ ∴ m = tan 90° But, the value of tan 90° is not defined. ∴ The slope of the line cannot be determined
