1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the inclination angle of the line x+3y+1=0x + \sqrt{3}y + 1 = 0.

2. Solution Steps

First, rewrite the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope.
Given the equation x+3y+1=0x + \sqrt{3}y + 1 = 0, we can isolate yy:
3y=x1\sqrt{3}y = -x - 1
y=13x13y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
The slope mm of the line is 13-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.
The inclination angle θ\theta satisfies m=tan(θ)m = \tan(\theta).
Therefore, tan(θ)=13\tan(\theta) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.
Since the range of inclination angle θ\theta is [0,π)[0, \pi), we need to find an angle θ\theta in this range such that tan(θ)=13\tan(\theta) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.
We know that tan(π6)=13\tan(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}. Since tan(θ)\tan(\theta) is negative, the angle θ\theta must be in the second quadrant.
We can find the angle in the second quadrant by using the identity tan(πx)=tan(x)\tan(\pi - x) = -\tan(x).
Thus, θ=ππ6=6π6π6=5π6\theta = \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{6\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}.

3. Final Answer

The inclination angle is 5π6\frac{5\pi}{6}.
