Solution :-

Given:

Points (2, 0), (0, 3) and the line x + y = 1.

Let us assume A (2, 0), B (0, 3) be the given points.

Now, let us find the slopes

Slope of AB = m1

= \(\dfrac{ (3-0) }{ (0-2)}\)

\( \dfrac{-3}{2}\)

Slope of the line x + y = 1 is -1

m2 = -1

Let θ be the angle between the line joining the points (2, 0), (0, 3) and the line x + y =

\( \dfrac{ ( \dfrac{-3}{2}+1)}{ ( \dfrac{-3}{2}+1)}\)

=\( \dfrac{1}{5}\)

θ = tan-1(\( \dfrac{1}{5}\))

The acute angle between the line joining the points (2, 0), (0, 3) and the line x + y = 1 is tan-1 (\( \dfrac{1}{5}\)).
