The correct Answer is:
To find the inclination of a line given its slope, we can use the relationship between the slope \( m \) and the angle of inclination \( \theta \): \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] Now, we will solve for the inclination \( \theta \) for each given slope. ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### (i) Slope \( m = 0 \) 1. **Identify the slope**: We have \( m = 0 \). 2. **Use the relationship**: We know that \( m = \tan(\theta) \). 3. **Set up the equation**: \[ \tan(\theta) = 0 \] 4. **Find \( \theta \)**: The angle whose tangent is 0 is: \[ \theta = 0^\circ \] #### (ii) Slope \( m = \frac{1}{4} \) 1. **Identify the slope**: We have \( m = \frac{1}{4} \). 2. **Use the relationship**: \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{4} \] 3. **Find \( \theta \)**: To find \( \theta \), we take the inverse tangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \] #### (iii) Slope \( m = 3 \) 1. **Identify the slope**: We have \( m = 3 \). 2. **Use the relationship**: \[ \tan(\theta) = 3 \] 3. **Find \( \theta \)**: To find \( \theta \), we take the inverse tangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(3) \] ### Summary of Results: 1. For \( m = 0 \), \( \theta = 0^\circ \) 2. For \( m = \frac{1}{4} \), \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \) (approximately \( 14.04^\circ \)) 3. For \( m = 3 \), \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(3) \) (approximately \( 71.57^\circ \))
