The correct Answer is:
To calculate the angle that the line AB makes with the positive direction of the x-axis from the given equation \(2x - 2y + 3 = 0\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form The given equation is: \[ 2x - 2y + 3 = 0 \] We need to rearrange this into the form \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) is the slope of the line. ### Step 2: Isolate \(y\) To isolate \(y\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ -2y = -2x - 3 \] Now, divide everything by -2: \[ y = x + \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 3: Identify the slope From the equation \(y = x + \frac{3}{2}\), we can see that the slope \(m\) is equal to 1. ### Step 4: Relate the slope to the angle The slope \(m\) is related to the angle \(\theta\) that the line makes with the positive x-axis by the formula: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] Since we found that \(m = 1\), we have: \[ \tan(\theta) = 1 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the angle To find \(\theta\), we take the arctangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}(1) \] The angle whose tangent is 1 is: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ### Final Answer Thus, the angle that the line AB makes with the positive direction of the x-axis is: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ---
