30.2.1 Angle of Inclination: How Steeply a Line Tilts

Core idea

The angle α a line makes as it tips up off the horizontal axis, running from 0° up to just under 180°, captures its pose.

Module goal. Start from how steep a line is, master slope and the various forms of a line's equation, and learn to write down any line in the coordinate plane.
