Problem

A straight line has slope m=−512m=-\dfrac{5}{12}. (i) Determine the inclination θ\theta of the line, 0∘<θ<180∘0^{\circ}<\theta<180^{\circ}, correct to the nearest minute. (ii) Express θ\theta in radians, correct to four decimal places. (iii) A second line makes an angle (θ+30∘)(\theta+30^{\circ}) with the positive xx-axis. Compute its slope, correct to two decimal places.
