Solution

The problem asks to calculate the angle between two lines given by the equations:

  1. 2x2=y+53\frac{-2x}{2} = \frac{y+5}{-3}
  2. y=4xy = 4x and y=25xy = 2 - 5x

Step 1: Simplify the equations of the lines.

Line 1:

Given equation: 2x2=y+53\frac{-2x}{2} = \frac{y + 5}{-3} This simplifies to: x=y+53-x = \frac{y + 5}{-3} Multiply both sides by 3-3 to get: 3x=y+53x = y + 5 So, the equation of the first line is: y=3x5y = 3x - 5

Line 2:

We have two separate lines given by the equations: y=4xandy=25xy = 4x \quad \text{and} \quad y = 2 - 5x Let's analyze the angles between each pair of lines.

Step 2: Find the slopes of the lines.

  • For y=3x5y = 3x - 5, the slope m1=3m_1 = 3.
  • For y=4xy = 4x, the slope m2=4m_2 = 4.
  • For y=25xy = 2 - 5x, the slope m3=5m_3 = -5.

Step 3: Use the formula to calculate the angle between two lines.

The angle θ\theta between two lines with slopes m1m_1 and m2m_2 is given by: tanθ=m1m21+m1m2\tan \theta = \left|\frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2}\right|

Angle between Line 1 and Line 2 (y=3x5y = 3x - 5 and y=4xy = 4x):

tanθ1=341+3×4=113=113\tan \theta_1 = \left|\frac{3 - 4}{1 + 3 \times 4}\right| = \left|\frac{-1}{13}\right| = \frac{1}{13}

So, θ1=arctan(113)\theta_1 = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{13}\right).

Angle between Line 1 and Line 3 (y=3x5y = 3x - 5 and y=25xy = 2 - 5x):

tanθ2=3(5)1+3×(5)=8115=814=47\tan \theta_2 = \left|\frac{3 - (-5)}{1 + 3 \times (-5)}\right| = \left|\frac{8}{1 - 15}\right| = \left|\frac{8}{-14}\right| = \frac{4}{7}

So, θ2=arctan(47)\theta_2 = \arctan\left(\frac{4}{7}\right).

Final Answers:

  • The angle between the lines y=3x5y = 3x - 5 and y=4xy = 4x is approximately θ1=arctan(113)\theta_1 = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{13}\right).
  • The angle between the lines y=3x5y = 3x - 5 and y=25xy = 2 - 5x is approximately θ2=arctan(47)\theta_2 = \arctan\left(\frac{4}{7}\right).
