You cannot glue two bare ends of a waste pipe together.
The bond area is too small and it will fail.
You need a coupler section to join lengths of waste pipe.
As an example this is the 90deg coupler for 40mm waste pipe (you did not say what size your pipe is):

and all the other bits here for solvent weld waste pipe:

And here is the glue you use to attach these connectors onto for solvent weld waste pipe.

And it has to be solvent weld pipe as you can't glue push fit pipe, it won't work.

If you have room it nay be better to use a bend thats easier to rod in case if blockage.

Not completely foolish, I recall a house once where the occupier had painstakingly made a Y piece to connect the washing machine and dishwasher into the same waste. Goodness knows how long it had taken him as he'd shaped both ends to a perfect fit before using copious amounts of Araldite or similar to glue the parts together.
He was also a Professor I believe, although certainly not in Plumbing.

Well said - those tight 90's are bad for waste flow
