The terminal side of an angle in standard position passes through cap p times open paren negative 3 comma negative 4 close paren What is the value of tangent theta ?

Answer
A
tangent theta is equal to negative 4 thirds
B
tangent theta is equal to 4 thirds
C
tangent theta is equal to 3 fourths
D
tangent theta is equal to negative 3 fourths

Explanation

For a point (x, y) on the terminal side of an angle, tan θ = y/x. Here x = −3 and y = −4, so tan θ = (−4)/(−3) = 4/3. The correct choice is “tangent theta is equal to 4 thirds.”
