Respectfully to everyone.
tan(90°) is N. D.
but tan^1(90°) = 89.36.

Bearing of line AB = tan^-1 ( Xb-Xa /Yb-Ya).
= tan^-1 ( 2000-1000/ 1000-1000),
= tab^-1 (0),
= 90 degree.

We have the formula to find out the angle by use of coordinate.

Bearing of line AB=tan-1 (Xb-Xa/Yb-ya).
= tan-1
(2000-1000/1000-1000)
= tan-1(1000/0).
= tan-1(infinity Or not define).

Now by use of trigonometric table find the angle which tan value should be infinity or not define
So the value is 90°.

ANS = 90°.
