Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of any angle (θ) in standard position that has point (x, y) on its terminal ray is ...

tan(θ) = y/x

For the given point on the terminal side, the tangent is ...

tan(θ) = (-4)/(-3) = 4/3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are several ways this can be explained. One of them makes use of the relation between rectangular and polar coordinates:

(x, y) = (r·cos(θ), r·sin(θ))

Then the ratio y/x is ...

y/x = (r·sin(θ))/(r·cos(θ)) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ)

SVEN [57.7K]

A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480

The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55

12345 [234]

Answer:

The answer is "The correct step are 1, 2 and 4 ".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question some data is missing so, its correct question can be defined as follows:

In the given equation:

$\to \bold{5k -3(2k- \frac{2}{3}) -9 =0}$

Lorena's steps should be evaluated

In Stage 1: It is right because it allocates – 3 to parentheses appropriately, , that's why she has 5k-6k+2-9=0

In Stage 2: It is right because in this term 5k and 2k are merged, that's why she got -k-7=0

In Stage 3: It is not right because the propagation property of fair treatment was not used.

In Stage 4: It is right because it multiplies the variable on one of the two sides by -1. So, k=-7 to get.
