Answer:

Find the components of the line (x,y)

And then use Tan ^-1(y/x)= Theta or angle

I hope you understand, and I go explain further.

Step-by-step explanation: In "simple terms". Slope is rise/run. Rise is the change in y value, which will equal the length of the opposite side of the right triangle. Run is the change in x value, which is the length of the adjacent side. The trigonometric function Tangent is opposite/adjacent. Use the inverse tangent of the slope to find the angle.

The only catch is that sometimes inverse tangent will give you a negative angle. It is generally not acceptable to provide the angle in a triangle as the negative angle. If you get a negative angle, use the absolute value of the angle.
