47) the angle between the line joining the points (1,-2) (3,2) and the line x+2y-7=0 is

Open in App
Solution

We know that equation of the line segment joining the points x1, y1 and x2 , y2 isy - y1x - x1 = y2 - y1x2 - x1 Now, equation of line segment joining 1, -2 and 3, 2 is y+2x-1 =2+23-1 y+2x-1 = 42 y+2x-1 = 2y+2 = 2x - 2y = 2x - 4Slope of the above line = m1 = 2Now, the equation of the given line is x+2y-7 = 02y = 7-xy = 72 - x2Slope of the above line = m2 = -12Now, let θ be the angle between the above lines.Now, tan θ = m1 - m21 + m1 . m2tan θ = 2 + 121 + 2×-12tan θ = 5/20tan θ = θ = 90°
