Note: is the first point . So this means that and .
Also, is the second point . So this means that and .


Start with the slope formula.


Plug in , , , and


Subtract from to get


Subtract from to get


Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is


The angle of inclination is

theta = arctan(rise/run)

theta = arctan(3/1) ... note: make the rise positive

theta = 71.56505

So the angle of inclination is roughly 71.56505 degrees
