    Here are the key steps to solve these types of problems: 1. Find the slopes (m1, m2) of the two lines 2. Use the formula: tanφ = (m2 - m1) / (1 + m2m1) 3. Take the inverse tangent (tan-1) of both sides to find φ

    Angle between Two Lines

    Inclination
    The Inclination of a non-horizontal line is the
    positive angle theta measured counterclockwise
    from the x-axis to the line.

    Acute angle Obtuse angle


    Slope of the Line

    𝑦2 − 𝑦1
    𝑚= or 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
    𝑥2 − 𝑥1

    The slope of the line is the tangent of inclination.


    𝑚 = tan 𝜃
    where:
    𝜃 is the inclination of the line
    Exterior Angle Theorem

    An exterior angle of a triangle


    is equal to the sum of the two
    b opposite interior angles.
