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)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the slope of two line be
`tan a_1 = m_1->(1)` and `tan a_2 = m_2->(2)`
now `theta = theta_2-theta_1`
Now, `tan theta = tan (theta_2-theta_1) `
`=>tan theta = (tan theta_2 – tan theta_1 ) / (1- tan theta_1tan theta_2)` ...
