Question

Find the slope and the inclination of the line AB if :

(i) A = (-3, -2) and B = (1, 2)

(ii) A = (0,3) and B = (3, 0)

(iii) A = (1,23) and B = (2,3)

Solution

(i) A = (-3, -2) and B = (1, 2)

Slope of AB = fraction numerator 2 plus 2 over denominator 1 plus 3 end fraction equals 1 equals tan theta

Inclination of line AB = theta = 45

(ii) A = (0, negative square root of 3) and B = (3, 0)

Slope of AB = fraction numerator 0 plus square root of 3 over denominator 3 minus 0 end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction equals tan theta

Inclination of line AB = theta = 30​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

(iii) A = (-1, 2square root of 3) and B = (-2, square root of 3)

Slope of AB = fraction numerator square root of 3 minus 2 square root of 3 over denominator negative 2 plus 1 end fraction equals square root of 3 equals tan theta

Inclination of line AB = theta = 60​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
