Question 240660: hi,
I am taking a course on N3 maths. Can you help me with the angle of inclination.
The question reads as follows:Determine th slope and angle of inclination of the line passing through points (-2;4) and (4;-1).
To get the andwer calculate m= y2-y1/x2-x1 thus:m=-(5/6)
I know m=tanθ so if the value of m=-5/6 how do i use my calculator to get the degree of the angle? The answer in the book is θ=140.2 degrees?
So how do I get the answer 140.2 degrees????
