Answer

(i) Given,

⇒ 2x - 2y + 3 = 0

⇒ 2y = 2x + 3

⇒ y = x+32x + \dfrac{3}{2}.

Comparing above equation with y = mx + c we get,

Slope = 1.

Hence, slope of line AB = 1.

(ii) Let angle be θ.

By formula,

⇒ Slope = tan θ

⇒ tan θ = 1

⇒ tan θ = tan 45°

⇒ θ = 45°.

Hence, angle that line makes with positive direction of x-axis = 45°.
