Angle of a line with the positive direction of the x-axis is `theta` . The line is rotated about some point on it in anticlockwise direction by angle `45^0` and its slope becomes `3.` Find the angle `thetadot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Originally,the slope of the line is `tan theta=m`.
Nowm, the slope of the line after rotation is 3.
Angle between the old position and the new position of lines is `45^@`. Therefore, we have
`tan45^@=(3-m)/(1+3m)`
or ` 1+3m=3-m`
or `4m=2`
or `m=(1)/(2)=tantheta`
or `theta=tan^(-1)(1/2)`
