The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the line given its inclination, we can use the formula: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] where \( m \) is the slope and \( \theta \) is the angle of inclination. Let's solve the problem step by step for each given inclination. ### Step 1: For \( \theta = 0^\circ \) 1. **Substitute the value of \( \theta \)**: \[ m = \tan(0^\circ) \] 2. **Calculate \( \tan(0^\circ) \)**: \[ \tan(0^\circ) = 0 \] 3. **Conclusion**: \[ m = 0 \] ### Step 2: For \( \theta = 60^\circ \) 1. **Substitute the value of \( \theta \)**: \[ m = \tan(60^\circ) \] 2. **Calculate \( \tan(60^\circ) \)**: \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] 3. **Conclusion**: \[ m = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 3: For \( \theta = 150^\circ \) 1. **Substitute the value of \( \theta \)**: \[ m = \tan(150^\circ) \] 2. **Calculate \( \tan(150^\circ) \)**: - We know that \( \tan(150^\circ) = \tan(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = -\tan(30^\circ) \) - Since \( \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), we have: \[ \tan(150^\circ) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 3. **Conclusion**: \[ m = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Results - For \( \theta = 0^\circ \), the slope \( m = 0 \) - For \( \theta = 60^\circ \), the slope \( m = \sqrt{3} \) - For \( \theta = 150^\circ \), the slope \( m = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \)
