Question

If a line makes an angle of 60° with the positive direction of x-axis in the anticlockwise direction, the slope of the line is

• A. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
• B. $\sqrt{3}$
• C. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\sqrt{3}$

Given: $\theta$ = 60°

We know that slope of the line which makes an angle of $\theta$ with the positive direction of x-axis in the anticlockwise direction is tan $\theta$.

So, the slope of the line = tan 60°
The slope of the line = $\sqrt{3}$
