Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, straight lines are \(l_1: 3 x+4 y+9=0\) ...(i) \(l_2: x-7 y-22=0\) ...(ii) Slope of line \(l_1=\frac{- \text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } y}\) \(\therefore \quad m_1=\frac{-3}{4}\) Slope of line \(l_2=\frac{-1}{-7}\) \(\therefore \quad m_2=\frac{1}{7}\)…
