Question

Find the tan(Θ) for an angle in standard position if the terminal side passes through the point (-2, -5).

Answer 1

can you plot (-2, -5) and draw a triangle ?

Answer 2

it would like like this

Answer 3

ok, but normally we use the x-axis as the bottom. Can you re-do it ?

Answer 4

like this?

Answer 5

the angle is always between the x-axis and the hypotenuse

Answer 6

now you label the sides: the horizontal distance is the x value
and at the vertical distance is the y value

Answer 7

I assume you can do that?

Answer 8

oh!
