Write the slope of the line whose inclination is:

(i) 0^o(ii) 30^o (iii) 45^o(iv) 60^oSolution 3

If θ is the inclination of a line; the slope of the line is tan θ and is usually denoted by letter m.

(i)Here the inclination of a line is 0°, then θ = 0°

Therefore the slope of the line is m = tan 0° = 0

(ii)Here the inclination of a line is 30°, then θ = 30°

Therefore the slope of the line is m = tan θ = 30° = 

(iii)Here the inclination of a line is 45° , then θ = 45°

Therefore the slope of the line is m = tan 45° = 1

(iv)Here the inclination of a line is 60°, then θ = 60°

Therefore the slope of the line is m = tan 60° = √3Question 4

Find the inclination of the line whose slope is:

If tan θ is the slope of a line; then inclination of the line is θ

(i)Here the slope of line is 0; then tan θ = 0

Now

Therefore the inclination of the given line is θ = 0°

(ii)Here the slope of line is 1; then tan θ = 1

Now

Therefore the inclination of the given line is θ = 45°

(iii)Here the slope of line is ; then tan θ = √3

Now

Therefore the inclination of the given line is θ = 60°

(iv)Here the slope of line is ; then

Therefore, Slope(m) = tan θ = tan 0° = 0

(ii) For any line which is perpendicular to x-axis, the inclination is θ = 90°

Therefore, Slope(m) = tan θ = tan 90° = ∞(not defined)

(iii) For any line which is parallel to y-axis, the inclination is θ = 90°

Therefore, Slope(m) = tan θ = tan 90° = ∞(not defined) 

(iv) For any line which is perpendicular to y-axis, the inclination is θ = 0°

Y-intercept is -8, therefore c = -8

Therefore,

Therefore the equation of the required line is y = 5x + (-8)

(iii)Given

Y-intercept is 2, therefore c = 2

Therefore,

Therefore the equation of the required line is y = -4x + 2

(iv)Given

Slope is -3, therefore m = -3

Y-intercept is -1, therefore c = -1

Therefore,

Therefore the equation of the required line is y = -3x - 1

(v)Given

Slope is 0, therefore m = 0

Y-intercept is -5, therefore c = -5

Therefore,

Therefore the equation of the required line is y = -5

(vi)Given

Draw the graph of line x + y = 5. Use the graph paper drawn to find the inclination and the y-intercept of the line.Solution 10

Given line is

x + y = 5

The graph of the given line is shown below.

From the given line x + y = 5, we get

Again we know that equation of any straight line in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the intercept. Again we have if slope of a line is tan θ then inclination of the line is θ

Now from the equation (A) , we have

And c = 5

Therefore the required inclination is θ = 135° and y-intercept is c = 5
