\"\"

\

a.

\

Let the line \"\" passing through the points \"\" and \"\".

\

Redraw the given diagram.

\

\"\"

\

Observe the above diagram :

\

Opposite side of \"\" is \"\".

\

Adjacent side of \"\" is \"\".

\

Slope of the line \"\" : \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Definition of tangent ratio : \"\".

\

\"\".

\

 Therefore, the slope \"\" of the line \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

b.

\

From part a, we know that the slope of a line is equivalent to the tangent of its angle of inclination.

\

Therefore, \"\" and \"\".

\

The angle formed by the intersection of the two lines \"\" is equivalent to \"\"

\

Use this information to derive a formula for \"\".

\

\"\"    (Since \"\")

\

Apply tangent difference identity : \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

c.

\

The two lines are \"\" and \"\".

\

Compare the lines with slope intercept form \"\", where \"\" is slope and \"\" is y - intercept.

\

Slopes of the lines \"\" and \"\".

\

Angle between the lines : \"\".

\

Substitute \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

The angle between the lines \"\" and \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

a.

\

The slope \"\" of the line \"\" is \"\".

\

b.

\

\"\".

\

c.

\

The angle between the lines \"\" and \"\" is \"\".
