The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and inclination of the line through the points (0, 0) and (-√3, 3), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the points Let the points be: - Point A (x1, y1) = (0, 0) - Point B (x2, y2) = (-√3, 3) ### Step 2: Use the slope formula The formula for the slope (m) of a line through two points is given by: \[ m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula Substituting the coordinates of points A and B into the formula: \[ m = \frac{3 - 0}{-√3 - 0} = \frac{3}{-√3} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the slope Now, simplify the expression: \[ m = -\frac{3}{√3} = -\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 5: Find the inclination angle The inclination (θ) of the line can be found using the relationship between the slope and the tangent of the angle: \[ \tan(θ) = m \] So, \[ \tan(θ) = -\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 6: Determine the angle The angle whose tangent is -√3 is: \[ θ = 120^\circ \quad \text{(since the tangent is negative in the second quadrant)} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the slope of the line is: \[ \text{slope} = -\sqrt{3} \] And the inclination of the line is: \[ \text{inclination} = 120^\circ \] ---
