I'm sorry I don't know how I can solve this in a simpler way, I just know how to do this using trigonometric functions.
The equation follows the form of a basic line , meaning, the slope of the line is
The tangent of the angle from the line to the x axis is equals to the slope of the same line. So let a be the angle from line to the x-axis. So,

a is approximately 33.6 degrees.
Thank you.
