The acute angle between the lines given by $y-\sqrt{3} x+1=0$ and $\sqrt{3} y-x+7=0$ is

The acute angle between the lines given by $y-\sqrt{3} x+1=0$ and $\sqrt{3} y-x+7=0$ is
  1. $75^{\circ}$
  2. $60^{\circ}$
  3. $45^{\circ}$
  4. $30^{\circ}$

Solution

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