The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the two straight lines given by the equations \( x - 4y = 3 \) and \( 6x - y = 11 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the equations to slope-intercept form We need to rearrange both equations into the form \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. **For the first line:** 1. Start with the equation: \[ x - 4y = 3 \] 2. Rearranging gives: \[ -4y = -x + 3 \] 3. Dividing by -4: \[ y = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} \] Here, the slope \( m_1 = \frac{1}{4} \). **For the second line:** 1. Start with the equation: \[ 6x - y = 11 \] 2. Rearranging gives: \[ -y = -6x + 11 \] 3. Dividing by -1: \[ y = 6x - 11 \] Here, the slope \( m_2 = 6 \). ### Step 2: Use the formula for the angle between two lines The formula for the angle \( \theta \) between two lines with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] ### Step 3: Substitute the slopes into the formula Substituting \( m_1 = \frac{1}{4} \) and \( m_2 = 6 \): \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{\frac{1}{4} - 6}{1 + \frac{1}{4} \cdot 6} \right| \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression 1. Calculate \( m_1 - m_2 \): \[ \frac{1}{4} - 6 = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{24}{4} = \frac{-23}{4} \] 2. Calculate \( 1 + m_1 m_2 \): \[ 1 + \frac{1}{4} \cdot 6 = 1 + \frac{6}{4} = 1 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] 3. Now substitute these values back into the formula: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{\frac{-23}{4}}{\frac{5}{2}} \right| = \left| \frac{-23}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{5} \right| = \left| \frac{-46}{20} \right| = \frac{46}{20} = \frac{23}{10} \] ### Step 5: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find \( \theta \), we take the arctangent: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{23}{10}\right) \] ### Conclusion The angle between the two lines \( x - 4y = 3 \) and \( 6x - y = 11 \) is given by: \[ \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{23}{10}\right) \]
