If the angles made by a straight line with the coordinate axes are , 2 - , , then is equal to
Options
- A0
- B6
- C2
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
We know that, if , , are angles of a line which makes from the coordinate axes But, given = , = 2 - , = From Eq. (i) ^2 + ^2 ( 2 - )+ ^2 =1 array cc & ( ^2 + ^2 )+ ^2 =1 & ^2 =0 & =0= 2 & = 2 array
