Default Angle problem: Changing algebric expressions to angles

We prefer that the answers are defined in RR to the second power (I don't know what RR to the second power means). Answer graphically each answer in the same cartesian coordinate system.
f(x)=2x
h(x)=2x+2
g(x)2x-1
i(x)=2x-4

This question is still not clear. Please state clearly what Changing algebric expressions to angles is meant to mean. Do you mean find the angle the line makes with the x-axis?

In a line y=mx+b, m=\tan \theta,\theta is the angle between the line and the positive direction of the x-axis.

Here is a formula for you.

Given that \theta is the angle formed from the line y=mx+b to line y=m'x+b', then

\tan\theta=\frac {m'-m}{1+mm'}

The statement of that question is totally incomprehensible as far as I am concerned.
