Answer
(i) Given,
⇒ 2x - 2y + 3 = 0
⇒ 2y = 2x + 3
⇒ y = .
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°.
