If theta is the acute angle between the ...

If `theta` is the acute angle between the lines with slopes m1 and m2 then `tantheta = (m_1 -m_2)/(1+m_1m_2)`. 2) if p is the length the perpendicular from point P(x1, y1) to the line ax+ by +c =0 then p= `(ax_1+by_1+c)/(sqrt(a^2+b^2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`tanA/tanB=m_1/m_2`
`tantheta=tan(A_B)=(tanA-tanB)/(1+tanAtanB)`
`tantheta=(m_1-m_2)/(1+m_1m_2)`
`|OP|=|(ax_1+by_1+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)|`
`P=|(ax_1+by_1+c)/sqrt(a^2+b^2)|`.
