The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the lines given by the equations \( y = (2 - \sqrt{3})(x + 5) \) and \( y = (2 + \sqrt{3})(x - 7) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the slopes of the lines The equations of the lines can be rewritten in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. 1. For the first line \( y = (2 - \sqrt{3})(x + 5) \): - The slope \( m_1 = 2 - \sqrt{3} \). 2. For the second line \( y = (2 + \sqrt{3})(x - 7) \): - The slope \( m_2 = 2 + \sqrt{3} \). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle between two lines The formula to find the angle \( \theta \) between two lines with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1 m_2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values of \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) Substituting the values we found: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{(2 + \sqrt{3}) - (2 - \sqrt{3})}{1 + (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3})} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the numerator The numerator simplifies as follows: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3}) - (2 - \sqrt{3}) = \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the denominator Now, simplify the denominator: \[ 1 + (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 1 + (4 - 3) = 1 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 6: Combine the results Now we can combine the results: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 7: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find \( \theta \), we take the arctangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) \] This corresponds to an angle of \( 60^\circ \) or \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians. ### Final Answer The angle between the lines is \( 60^\circ \). ---
