Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Further Mathematics - 2022 (Objective) Subject: Further Mathematics

Question 1 Report

Find correct to the nearest degree, the acute angle formed by the lines y = 2x + 5 and 2y = x - 6
Answer Details

tanθ = m1 - m21 + m1m2


y = 2x + 5
m1 = 2
2y = x - 6

y = 12 x - 3

 

m2 = 12

 

tanθ = 2 - 12 1 2 1+2(12
)

tanθ =  32
 ÷ (1+1)

tanθ = 32
 ÷ 2

tanθ = 34

θ = tan−1(34)

θ = 36.87º
θ = 37º
