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)

How to find the measurements of an angles

Mariulka [41]

•sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°
•sum of the angle in a quadrilateral = 360°
•opposite angles are equal
•for two parallel lines and a transversal, corresponding angles are equal, and alternate angles are equal.
•If it already has an angle for a triangle subtract that by 180 and divide it by two you have the other two angle, if you already have two angles on a triangle add those together and subtract from 180 thats the last angle, same for a quadrilateral but you subtract by 360 instead.
