Answer:

the angle = ~56.3 degrees

Explanation:

1. y=3/2(x) and y=0
2. say x is equal to 4. the length along the x axis is 4. you would plug x=4 into y=3/2x to get the length along the y axis (which would be 6). then you would use these lengths to find the angles value with tan. tan^-1(6/4), so the answer would be ~56.3 degrees
