For the line 3x+2y-5=0, find the obtuse angle the line that makes with the positive direction of the x-axis.
-----------
Step 1, find the slope of the given line. Call it m%5B1%5D
Step 2, lines perpendicular have a slope that's the negative inverse. = -1%2Fm%5B1%5D Call it m%5B2%5D
Step 3, use y-y%5B1%5D+=+m%5B2%5D%2A%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29 Where (x1,y1) is the point.
==================
KNOW how to do this. It's basic.
