The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the lines whose inclinations are given, we will use the formula for the slope \( m \) in terms of the angle of inclination \( \theta \): \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] Now, let's solve the problem step by step for each given angle of inclination. ### Step 1: For \( \theta = 45^\circ \) 1. **Identify the angle**: The angle of inclination is \( 45^\circ \). 2. **Use the slope formula**: We apply the formula \( m = \tan(45^\circ) \). 3. **Calculate the slope**: We know that \( \tan(45^\circ) = 1 \). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the slope \( m \) for \( 45^\circ \) is \( 1 \). ### Step 2: For \( \theta = 60^\circ \) 1. **Identify the angle**: The angle of inclination is \( 60^\circ \). 2. **Use the slope formula**: We apply the formula \( m = \tan(60^\circ) \). 3. **Calculate the slope**: We know that \( \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the slope \( m \) for \( 60^\circ \) is \( \sqrt{3} \). ### Step 3: For \( \theta = 120^\circ \) 1. **Identify the angle**: The angle of inclination is \( 120^\circ \). 2. **Use the slope formula**: We apply the formula \( m = \tan(120^\circ) \). 3. **Use the identity**: We can rewrite \( 120^\circ \) as \( 90^\circ + 30^\circ \). According to the identity \( \tan(90^\circ + \theta) = -\cot(\theta) \), we have: \[ \tan(120^\circ) = \tan(90^\circ + 30^\circ) = -\cot(30^\circ) \] 4. **Calculate \( \cot(30^\circ) \)**: We know that \( \cot(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\tan(30^\circ)} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} = \sqrt{3} \). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, \( \tan(120^\circ) = -\sqrt{3} \), so the slope \( m \) for \( 120^\circ \) is \( -\sqrt{3} \). ### Final Results - For \( 45^\circ \), the slope is \( 1 \). - For \( 60^\circ \), the slope is \( \sqrt{3} \). - For \( 120^\circ \), the slope is \( -\sqrt{3} \).
