The correct Answer is:
To find the inclination of the lines whose slopes are given, we can use the relationship between the slope \( m \) of a line and its angle of inclination \( \theta \) with respect to the positive x-axis. The relationship is given by: \[ m = \tan(\theta) \] Now, let's solve the problem step by step for each slope. ### (i) For \( m = \sqrt{3} \) 1. **Set up the equation**: \[ \tan(\theta) = \sqrt{3} \] 2. **Identify the angle**: We know that: \[ \tan(60^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] Therefore, we can conclude that: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### (ii) For \( m = 1 \) 1. **Set up the equation**: \[ \tan(\theta) = 1 \] 2. **Identify the angle**: We know that: \[ \tan(45^\circ) = 1 \] Therefore, we can conclude that: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ### (iii) For \( m = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \) 1. **Set up the equation**: \[ \tan(\theta) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 2. **Identify the angle**: We know that: \[ \tan(150^\circ) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] This is because: \[ \tan(150^\circ) = \tan(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = -\tan(30^\circ) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] Therefore, we can conclude that: \[ \theta = 150^\circ \] ### Summary of Results: - For \( m = \sqrt{3} \), \( \theta = 60^\circ \) - For \( m = 1 \), \( \theta = 45^\circ \) - For \( m = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), \( \theta = 150^\circ \)
