Episode 2 — Analytical Geometry

Angle of Inclination

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the relationship between the angle of inclination and the gradient of a straight line. • Explain that the tangent of an angle is equal to the change in y over the change in x. • Calculate the value of theta using the formula tan theta = m, where m is the gradient of the line. • Determine the gradient of a line given the value of theta. • Apply the relationship between the tangent of an angle and the gradient of a line to solve problems.
