In analytical geometry, there are already derived equations to find the distance of lines and points as well as the angle made between two lines. As special case is when the other line is one of the coordinate axis. Then, the formula can be simplified to

tan θ =m, where m is the slope of the equation

In the next step, we also incorporate operations of calculus. Since the slope is equal to Δy/Δx, this is equivalent to dy/dx in calculus. Therefore, you can find the slope by differentiating the equation in terms of x.

y-2x=7
y = 2x+7
dy/dx = 2 =m

So,

tan θ = 2
θ = tan⁻¹(2)
θ = 63.43°

Box plots give the five number summary of the data set. The whiskers indicate the minimum daily travel time, which is 11 minutes, and the maximum daily travel time, which is 45 minutes. These values are not outliers because they are connected to the box with whiskers. Meanwhile, the box indicates that the first quartile of the data set is 16, the median is 28, and the third quartile is 36.
