Find the acute angle between the lines 3x - y = 4 and 2x + y = 3

For 3x-y = 4,
$slope m_{1}=-\frac{a}{b}=-\frac{3}{-1}=3$
$For 2 x+y=3$
$slope m_{2}=-\frac{a}{b}=-\frac{2}{1}=-2$
$\therefore \tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_{1}-m_{2}}{1+m_{1} m_{2}}\right|$
$=\left|\frac{3-(-2)}{1+3 \times(-2)}\right|$
$=1$
$\therefore \theta=\tan ^{-1}(1)$
$\therefore \theta=\frac{\pi}{4} or 45^{0}$
