The slope of a line is double of the slope of another line. If tangent of the angle between them is , find the slopes of the lines.
Solution:
Let and be the slopes of two lines. ∴ tan θ = Here tan θ = , = m , = 2m = ⇒ = ⇒ |1 + | = 3|m| ⇒ – 3|m| + 1 = 0 ⇒ – 2|m| – |m| + 1 = 0 ⇒ (2|m| – 1) (|m| – 1) = 0 ⇒ |m| = ⇒ m = ± 1 , ± Slope of the two lines are 1 , 2 ; - 1 , - 2 ; , 1 ; , - 1
