Show that two equivalent hybrid orbitals of the form sp make an angle to each

Question:

Show that two equivalent hybrid orbitals of the form spλ make an angle θ to each other, then λ = −1/cosθ . Plot a graph of λ against θ and confirm that θ = 180° when no s orbital is included and θ = 120° when λ = 2.
