Question
Find the angle between X-axis and the line joining the points (3, -1) and (4, -2).
✓
Answer
Let the given points be (3, -1) and (4, -2). $\therefore$ Slope of $\text{AB}=\frac{-2+1}{4-2}=-1$ Let $\theta$ be the angle between the x axis and AB. $\therefore \tan\theta =-1$ $\Rightarrow\theta=\tan^{-1}(-1)=\frac{3\pi}{4}$ Hence, the angle between the x axis and the line joining the points (3, -1) and (4, -2) is $\frac{3\pi}{4}.$
