Find the angle between the horizontal axis and the line joining the points `(3, -1)`and `(4, -2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The slope of the line joining the points (3,−1) and (4,−2) is ` m= -2-(-1) div (4-3)= -1`
Now the inclination `theta` of the line joining the points (3,1) and (4,2) is given by, `tan theta =-1`
` theta = (90^@ + 45^@) = 135^@`
