Answer»

\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\bf \: Given \: coordinates \: are \: \begin{cases} &\sf{A(2a, 2a \sqrt{3} )} \\ &\sf{B(3a, 3a \sqrt{3} )} \end{cases}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}\begin{gathered}\bf \:To\:find - \begin{cases} &\sf{<klux>ANGLE</klux> \: makes \: with \: direction \: of \: x - <klux>AXIS</klux>} \end{cases}\end{gathered}\end{gathered}

\large\underline{\bold{Solution-}}

  • Let suppose that line AB makes an angle θ with positive direction of x - axis.

We know,

  • If line passes through TWO points A (a, b) and B (c, d) and makes an angle θ with positivedirectionofx - axis, then slope (m) of line is

\sf \: m \: = \: \dfrac{d - b}{c - a} = tan \theta \:

Here,

\: \: \: \: \: \: \bull \: \sf \: a \: = \: 2a

\: \: \: \: \: \: \bull \: \sf \: b \: = \: 2a \sqrt{3}

\: \: \: \: \: \: \bull \: \sf \: c \: = \: 3a

\: \: \: \: \: \: \bull \: \sf \: d \: = \: 3a \sqrt{3}

So, on substituting the values, we get

\bf \: tan \theta \: = \rm \: \dfrac{3a \sqrt{3} - 2a \sqrt{3} }{3a - 2a}

\bf \: tan \theta \: = \rm \: \dfrac{a \sqrt{3} }{a}

\bf \: tan \theta \: = \: \rm \: \sqrt{3}

\bf\implies \: \theta \: = \: 60 \degree

Additional INFORMATION

1. Two LINES having slope m and M are parallel iff m = M.

2. Two lines having slope m and M are perpendicular iff mM = - 1

3. If line is parallel to x - axis, its slope is 0.

4. If a line is parallel to y - axis, its slope is not defined.

5. If 3 points A, B, C are collinear, then slope of AB = slope of BC.
