Given:

y=-2

y=\sqrt{3}x-1

To find:

The obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b     ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equations are

y=0x-2

y=\sqrt{3}x-1

On comparing these equations with (i), we get

m_1=0

m_2=\sqrt{3}

Angle between two lines whose slopes are m_1\text{ and }m_2 is

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{m_2-m_1}{1+m_1m_2}\right|

Putting m_1=0 and m_2=\sqrt{3}, we get

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-0}{1+(0)(\sqrt{3})}\right|

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{1+0}\right|

\tan \theta=\pm \sqrt{3}

Now,

\tan \theta= \sqrt{3} and \tan \theta=-\sqrt{3}

\tan \theta= \tan 60^\circ and \tan \theta=\tan (180^\circ-60^\circ)

\theta= 60^\circ and \theta=120^\circ

120>90, so it is an obtuse angle and 60, so it is an acute angle.

Therefore, the obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines is 120°.

4.5, 3.25, 3.75, 3.25, 4.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.25, 4.5, 2.5 <br><br> Whats the mean?
Alchen [17]

\frac{4.5 + 3.25 + 3.75 + 3.25 + 4.25 + 3.50 + 3.75 + 4.25 + 4.50 + 2.50}{10}  = 3.75
So; the answer is: 3.75
