For line AB, you have to consider 135 degree angle to calculate the slope
Slope of line AB= tan(135°)=-1

Slope of CD= tan120°=\(-\sqrt{3}\)

Hi, please see the attached image

Which angle do we take while considering the slope?
in line AB and CD(both -ve slopes)

AB makes an angle of 45 and CD angle of 60 with x axis so slope of CD<AB as CD is more negative
but if i see external angles of same lines then AB<CD in slope as 135<120 so 135 will be more negative
So
