Question

The angle between the line x + y = 1 and x – y = 2 is

  1. 90°
  2. 30°
  3. 45°

hintHint:

First, we will find the slopes of the lines. The slope of a line a x plus b y plus c equals 0 is given by m equals fraction numerator negative c o e f f i c i e n t space o f space x over denominator c o e f f i c i e n t space o f space y end fraction. After that we will use the formula of the angle between the two lines tan open parentheses theta close parentheses equals open vertical bar fraction numerator m subscript 1 minus m subscript 2 over denominator 1 plus m subscript 1 m subscript 2 end fraction close vertical bar where m subscript 1 and m subscript 2 are the slope of the lines and theta is the angle between the lines.

The correct answer is: 90°


    The formula of the angle between the two lines is given by tan open parentheses theta close parentheses equals open vertical bar fraction numerator m subscript 1 minus m subscript 2 over denominator 1 plus m subscript 1 m subscript 2 end fraction close vertical bar where m subscript 1 and m subscript 2 are the slope of the lines and theta is the angle between the lines.
    Step1: Finding the Slopes of the lines.
    The slope of a line a x plus b y plus c equals 0 is given by m equals fraction numerator negative c o e f f i c i e n t space o f space x over denominator c o e f f i c i e n t space o f space y end fraction hence,m equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction.
    Therefore slopes of the given lines are m subscript 1 equals negative 1 and m subscript 2 equals 1
    Step2: Finding the angles between the lines.
    tan open parentheses theta close parentheses equals open vertical bar fraction numerator m subscript 1 minus m subscript 2 over denominator 1 plus m subscript 1 m subscript 2 end fraction close vertical bar
    =>tan open parentheses theta close parentheses equals open vertical bar fraction numerator negative 1 minus 1 over denominator 1 plus left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis cross times 1 end fraction close vertical bar
    =>tan open parentheses theta close parentheses equals open vertical bar fraction numerator negative 2 over denominator 0 end fraction close vertical bar
    =>Since, the denominator is zero the value of tan open parentheses theta close parentheses goes to infinity.
    =>The value of theta will be 90 to the power of ring operator.
