Are you familiar with vectors?

Plz solve it using Co-ordinate geometry
OpenStudy (owlcoffee):
I will not solve it for you, and yes, we will use coordinate geometry.

Ok....Just plz help me.

You might want to start by drawing a fairly accurate diagram. This may not solve the problem for you, but would at least give you a way to estimate the slope and y intercept of the line(s) in question.
OpenStudy (boldjon):
Use the formula:
tan(angle) = (m1-m2)/(1+m1m2)
OpenStudy (boldjon):
plug in for m and u got your answer

@boldjon gave you a good method to find the slope of the line you are looking for.

so? have u found it

Found what? To answer the original question, we'll need to find another point, besides (3,2), through which the unknown line passes. I'm still struggling with a drawing that would show one unknown line that makes an angle of 45 dedgrees with the line x-2y=3.
