    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given;

    The equations;

    2x+3y-5=0 and 5x=7y+3

    We are required to determine the tangent of the angle between the two lines;

    We need to know that;

    When an equation is written in the form of, y = mx + c

    Then, tan θ = m, where θ is the angle between the line and the x-axis.

    Therefore, we can find the tangent of the angle between each line given and the x-axis.

    2x+3y-5=0

    we first write it in the form, y = mx + c

    We get, y = - 2/3x + 5/3

    Thus, tan θ₁ = - 2/3

    5x=7y+3

    In the form of y = mx + c

    We get; y = 5/7x - 3/7

    Thus, tan θ₂ = 5/7

    Using the formula, θ = tan^-1 ((m1-m2) / (1+m1m2)), where θ is angle between the two lines.

    Thus, the tangent of the angle between the two lines will be;

    tan θ = ((m1-m2) / (1+m1m2))

    = ((-2/3-5/7) / (1 + (-2/3 * 5/7)))

    = - 29/21 : 31/21

    = - 29/31

    Thus, the tangent of the angle between the two lines is - 29/31
