Find the slope of the line whose inclination is:
`72^@, 30^@`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the lines whose inclinations are \(72^\circ\) and \(30^\circ\), we will use the formula for the slope \(m\) of a line, which is given by: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle of inclination. ### Step 1: Calculate the slope for \(72^\circ\) 1. Use the formula \(m_1 = \tan(72^\circ)\). 2. Using a calculator or trigonometric tables, find \(\tan(72^\circ)\). \[ m_1 = \tan(72^\circ) \approx 3.077 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the slope for \(30^\circ\) 1. Use the formula \(m_2 = \tan(30^\circ)\). 2. Again, using a calculator or trigonometric tables, find \(\tan(30^\circ)\). \[ m_2 = \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.577 \] ### Final Answer The slopes of the lines are: - For \(72^\circ\): \(m_1 \approx 3.077\) - For \(30^\circ\): \(m_2 \approx 0.577\) ---
