What is the acute angle at the point of intersection of two lines y=-0.4x+10 and y = 3x-5?
-------
Graph::
------------
Notice the triangle made by the lines.
base angle where y = 3x-5 crosses the x-axis = tan^-1(3) = 71.56 degrees
base angle where y = -0.4x+10 crosses the x-axis = -tan^-1(-0.4) = 21.80 degrees
-------8
Ans: The 3rd angle of the triangle = 180-(71.56+21.80) = 86.64 degrees
