Question
Find the inclination of the line whose slope is: `sqrt(3)`
Solution
If tan θ is the slope of a line; then the inclination of the line is tan θ
Here the slope of line is `sqrt(3)`; then tan θ = `sqrt(3)`
Now
tan θ = `sqrt(3)`
tan θ = tan 60°
θ = 60°
Therefore the inclination of the given line is θ = 60°
