Answer:
The angle made by line with positive x axis is more than 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
A line is represented in slope intercept form as
y=mx+c
Where m is called the slope of the line and c is called the y intercept .
Here by slope we means the tangent of the angle , the line makes with the positive x axis .
Now in the case when the coefficient of x is negative , that means the tangent of the angle which line makes with the positive direction of x axis is negative
or
tan = negative
> 90
that means our line makes an obtuse angle that is more than 90° with the positive x axis.
