Question

Find the slope of the lines which make the following angle with the positive direction of x-axis: \[\frac{\pi}{3}\]

Answer in Brief

Solution

\[\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}\]

\[\therefore \text { Slope of the line } = m = \tan\theta\]

\[ \Rightarrow \text { Slope of the line } = \tan\left( \frac{\pi}{3} \right) = \sqrt{3}\]

Hence, the slope of the line is \[\sqrt{3}\].
