For α0,π2, the angle between the lines represented by xcosθ-ycosθ+tanαx-1-cosθ·tanαy=0 is
  1. α
  2. θ
  3. θ+α
  4. θ-α

Solution

Given,

xcosθ-ycosθ+tanαx-1-cosθ·tanαy=0

Now taking line L1xcosθ-y=0

And L2cosθ+tanαx-1-cosθ·tanαy=0

Now slope of line L1 is m1=cosθ and slope of line L2 is m2=cosθ+tanα1-cosθ.tanα

Now we know that angle between two line is given by tanϕ=m2-m11+m1m2

tanφ=cosθ+tanα1-cosθ.tanα-cosθ1+cosθ+tanα1-cosθ.tanα×cosθ

tanφ=cosθ+tanα-cosθ+cos2θ.tanα1-cosθ.tanα+cos2θ+tanα.cosθ

tanφ=tanα1+cos2θ1+cos2θ

tanφ=tanα

φ=α
