MCQ
The acute angle between the lines $y = 2x$ and $y = - 2x$ is
  • A
    greater than $60^{\circ}$
  • B
    $90^{\circ}$
  • less than $60^{\circ}$
  • D
    $60^{\circ}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
less than $60^{\circ}$
The angle between two straight lines is given by $\frac{\left|m_1-m_2\right|}{1+m_1 m_2}$
Here $m _1=2$ and $m _2=-2$
Sustituting the values we get,
$\tan \theta=\frac{2-(-2)}{1+2 \cdot(-2)}$
$=\frac{4}{5}<60^{\circ}$
