The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the two lines given by the equations \( y = (2 - \sqrt{3})(x + 5) \) and \( y = (2 + \sqrt{3})(x - 7) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the slopes of the lines The equations of the lines can be rewritten in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. 1. For the first line: \[ y = (2 - \sqrt{3})(x + 5) \] Expanding this: \[ y = (2 - \sqrt{3})x + (2 - \sqrt{3}) \cdot 5 \] The slope \( m_1 \) is: \[ m_1 = 2 - \sqrt{3} \] 2. For the second line: \[ y = (2 + \sqrt{3})(x - 7) \] Expanding this: \[ y = (2 + \sqrt{3})x - (2 + \sqrt{3}) \cdot 7 \] The slope \( m_2 \) is: \[ m_2 = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] ### 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: Calculate \( m_1 - m_2 \) and \( m_1 m_2 \) 1. Calculate \( m_1 - m_2 \): \[ m_1 - m_2 = (2 - \sqrt{3}) - (2 + \sqrt{3}) = -2\sqrt{3} \] 2. Calculate \( m_1 m_2 \): \[ m_1 m_2 = (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 3 = 1 \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the formula Substituting the values into the formula: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{-2\sqrt{3}}{1 + 1} \right| = \left| \frac{-2\sqrt{3}}{2} \right| = \left| -\sqrt{3} \right| = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 5: Find the angle \( \theta \) Now, we know that: \[ \tan \theta = \sqrt{3} \] The angles that satisfy this equation are: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = 120^\circ \] ### Final Answer The angle between the lines is either \( 60^\circ \) or \( 120^\circ \). ---
