The slope of a line is double of the slope of another line. If tangent of the angle between them is `1/3,` find the slopes of the lines.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `m_1` and m be the slopes of two given line such that` m_1=2 m.`
We know that if theta is the angle between the lines `l_1` and` l_2` with slopes `m_1` and `m_2`,
then `tan theta=|frac[m_2-m_1][1+m_1 *m_2]|`
It is given that the tangent of the angle between the two lines is` frac[1]3`
therefore `frac[1]3=|frac[m-2 *m][1+(2 *m) m]|`
