What is the angle made by the line L with positive direction of y-axis?
A.30°
B.45°
C.60°✓ Correct
D.90°
Explanation
Line L: x + √3 y + 3√3 = 0 has slope m = −1/√3, so it makes an angle of 150° with positive x-axis (tan⁻¹(−1/√3) in second quadrant). The angle with positive y-axis = 150° − 90° = 60°. Alternatively, if a line makes angle θ with x-axis, it makes angle (90° − θ) or (θ − 90°) with y-axis. Here the inclination is 150°, so angle with positive y-axis = 60°.
