The correct Answer is:
To find the acute angle between the two straight lines given by the equations \( y - 3x - 5 = 0 \) and \( 3y - x + 6 = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the equations to slope-intercept form The slope-intercept form of a line is given by \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. 1. For the first line \( y - 3x - 5 = 0 \): \[ y = 3x + 5 \] Here, the slope \( m_1 = 3 \). 2. For the second line \( 3y - x + 6 = 0 \): \[ 3y = x - 6 \implies y = \frac{1}{3}x - 2 \] Here, the slope \( m_2 = \frac{1}{3} \). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle between two lines The formula for the tangent of the angle \( \theta \) between two lines with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] ### Step 3: Substitute the slopes into the formula Substituting \( m_1 = 3 \) and \( m_2 = \frac{1}{3} \): \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{3 - \frac{1}{3}}{1 + 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3}} \right| \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression 1. Calculate \( 3 - \frac{1}{3} \): \[ 3 = \frac{9}{3} \implies 3 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \] 2. Calculate \( 1 + 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \): \[ 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 1 \implies 1 + 1 = 2 \] 3. Now substitute back into the formula: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{\frac{8}{3}}{2} \right| = \left| \frac{8}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \right| = \left| \frac{8}{6} \right| = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 5: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find \( \theta \), we take the inverse tangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the angle Using a calculator, we find: \[ \theta \approx 53.13^\circ \] ### Conclusion Thus, the acute angle between the two lines is approximately \( 53^\circ \). ---
