The correct Answer is:
To find the inclination of a line given its slope \( m = \sqrt{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The slope \( m \) of a line is related to its angle of inclination \( \theta \) by the formula: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] 2. **Substitute the Given Slope**: We know that \( m = \sqrt{3} \). Therefore, we can write: \[ \tan(\theta) = \sqrt{3} \] 3. **Identify the Angle**: We need to find the angle \( \theta \) such that: \[ \tan(\theta) = \sqrt{3} \] From trigonometric values, we know that: \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] 4. **Conclude the Value of \( \theta \)**: Since \( \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \), we can conclude that: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Final Answer The inclination of the line is \( 60^\circ \). ---
