It's just a random doubt that came to my mind but it has really got me confused.
If we say that a straight line makes an angle, say 60 degrees, with the negative direction of the X axis, then does it mean taking the angle from the negative direction of X axis to the straight line in the anticlockwise direction or from the straight line to the negative direction of X axis anticlockwise. Similar goes for other directions of x and y axis. I know it has to be in the anticlockwise direction. But can you help me in which of the ways it has to be taken that I mentioned above? Thanks.
It means the first one. While we say line A makes an angle with line B, we take the angle from B to A.
