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
