Straight Line
Q. Determine the angle between the lines y = 2x + 1 and y = -1/2x + 3. (2021)
-
A.
90 degrees
-
B.
45 degrees
-
C.
60 degrees
-
D.
30 degrees
Solution
The slopes are m1 = 2 and m2 = -1/2. The angle θ = tan⁻¹(|(m1 - m2) / (1 + m1*m2)|) = tan⁻¹(5/3), which is approximately 90 degrees.
Correct Answer: A — 90 degrees

Q. Find the equation of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7). (2020)
-
A.
y = 2x - 1
-
B.
y = 2x + 1

Q. What is the angle between the lines represented by the equations y = 2x + 1 and y = -1/2x + 3? (2021)
-
A.
90 degrees
-
B.
45 degrees
-
C.
60 degrees
-
D.
30 degrees
Solution
The slopes are m1 = 2 and m2 = -1/2. The angle θ between the lines is given by tan(θ) = |(m1 - m2) / (1 + m1*m2)|, which results in 90 degrees.
Correct Answer: A — 90 degrees

Q. What is the equation of the line parallel to y = 3x + 4 that passes through the point (1, 2)? (2020)
-
A.
y = 3x - 1
-
B.
y = 3x + 1
-
C.
y = 3x + 2
-
