Detailed Solution
Equation of the line having intercepts a,b is xa+yb=1 , and its slope is m=−baHence the slope of the line which makes intercepts 4,−5 is m1=−54 , and the slope of the line which makes intercepts 5,−4 is m2=−45 If θ be the acute angle between two lines having slopes m1 and m2 then tanθ=m1−m21+m1m2Hence, tanθ=−54+451+1=940Therefore, tanθ=0.23
