9. A line passing through the origin is described by the equation y = Mx, where M greater than or equal to 0 is a random slope. Let (theta) be the angle between this line and the horizontal axis, in the right side of the plane. Suppose that theta is uniformly distributed between 0 and 90 degrees (0 and pi/2 radians). What, then, is the pdf of M? What is the expected value of M?
