Find angles between the lines √ 3 x + y = 1 and x + √ 3 y = 1.
Solution:
The given equations are √ 3 x + y = 1 ... (i)
x +√ 3 y = 1... (ii)
Since we have to find an angle between the two lines i.e., firstly we have to find the slopes of (i) and (ii).
Slope of (i) =m 1 = - √ 3 ... (iii)
Slope of (ii) =m 2 = −
... (iv)
Let θ be an angle between the given two lines, then
tan θ =|
| = |
| (from (iii) & (iv))
=|
| = |
| = |
| =
⇒ tan θ =
⇒ tan θ = tan 30° ⇒ θ = 30°
∴ The angle between the two given lines is 30° and the other angle is 180° – 30° = 150°.
