\(\sqrt{3} y-x+7=0\) is

  1. A \(75^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(45^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(30^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Slope of given lines are \(m_{1}=\sqrt{3}\), and \(m_{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \tan \theta=\left|\frac{\sqrt{3}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1+\sqrt{3} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\right|=\left|\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right| \\
\tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \theta=30^{\circ}
\end{array}
