find the slope of the line which makes an angle of 45 with the line 3x-y+5=0

let the slope of the required line be m.
the equation of the given line is 3x-y+5=0....(1)
y=3x+5
slope of the line (1) is 3.
the angle between the lines is 45 deg
if the slope of two lines are m1 and m2 .
and the angle between them is θ.
then
tanθ=m1-m21+m1m2
therefore
tan45=3-m1+3m3-m1+3m=13-m1+3m=±13-m1+3m=1 or 3-m1+3m=-13-m=1+3m  or 3-m=-(1+3m)4m=2     or   2m=-4m =12   or  m=-2

hope this helps you
