Angle of Inclination
Angle of Inclination
The angle of inclination, θ, (0° < θ < 180°) is the angle formed between a line and the x-axis. The angle is related to the gradient of the line using this formula:
The angle of inclination, θ, (0° < θ < 180°) is the angle formed between a line and the x-axis. The angle is related to the gradient of the line using this formula:
θ = tan-1(m) , m = tan θ
