The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and inclination of the line AB given the points A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of points A and B:** - Point A = (0, -√3) - Point B = (3, 0) 2. **Use the formula for the slope (m) of a line through two points:** \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Here, we can assign: - \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, -\sqrt{3}) \) (Point A) - \( (x_2, y_2) = (3, 0) \) (Point B) 3. **Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:** \[ m = \frac{0 - (-\sqrt{3})}{3 - 0} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ m = \frac{0 + \sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] 4. **Simplify the slope:** The slope \( m \) can be expressed as: \[ m = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] 5. **Relate the slope to the angle of inclination:** We know that the slope \( m \) is equal to \( \tan(\theta) \): \[ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] 6. **Find the angle \( \theta \):** The angle whose tangent is \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \) is \( 30^\circ \): \[ \theta = 30^\circ \] ### Final Answers: - **Slope of line AB (m):** \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \) - **Inclination of line AB (θ):** \( 30^\circ \)
