I found k to be =2
I don't have any idea how to calculate angle A.
Please need some help.
Thank You.

You have several ways to solve this task, depends from your knowledge.
y=kx+n is equation of line.

you need to find k₁ and k₂ of the lines AC and AB.

k=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Also,
tanA=\frac{k_2-k_1}{1+k1*k2}

Regards.

Thanks I have found C\widehat{A}B to be 52.1 and reflex \widehat{A}
307,9

What is this equation called?
tanA=\frac{k_2-k_1}{1+k1*k2}

Does this equation not resemble the compound angle identity of tan(A-B)?

Its called formula for finding angle between two lines. Here is http://www.tpub.com/math2/5.htm" Yes, the formula is tan(A-B).

k_2=tanA_2

k_1=tanA_1
