Question 37

Coordinate Geometry

The line x + y + 4 = 0 makes an angle of θ with the x-axis. Find the value of θ.

  1. A.315°
  2. B.225°
  3. C.135°
  4. D.45°
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (135°)

Explanation

The gradient is −1 = tan θ, and the angle a line makes with the positive x-axis (0° to 180°) is θ = 135°.
