OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There is your angle in standard position. You see that the terminal side passes through point (-3, 5). Ok so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so looking at mathstudent55's graph to get a tangent angle, you have to use the reference angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes good so far

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sine, cosine, and tangent of angles between 0 and 90 degrees can be obtained from right triangles.
