Answer:

  119.05°

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the angle is given by ...

  θ = arctan(y/x)

Here, that becomes ...

  θ = arctan(9/-5) ≈ 119.05°

_____

<em>Comment on using a calculator</em>

If you use the ATAN2( ) function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet, it will give you the angle in the proper quadrant. If you use the arctangent function (tan⁻¹) of a typical scientific calculator, it will give you a 4th-quadrant angle when the ratio is negative. You must recognize that the desired 2nd-quadrant angle is 180° more than that.

__

It may help you to consider looking at the "reference angle." In this geometry, it is the angle between the vector v and the -x axis. The coordinates tell you the lengths of the sides of the triangle vector v forms with the -x axis and a vertical line from that axis to the tip of the vector. Then the trig ratio you're interested in is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent = |y|/|x|

This is the tangent of the reference angle, which will be ...

  θ = arctan(|y| / |x|) = arctan(9/5) ≈ 60.95°

You can see from your diagram that the angle CCW from the +x axis will be the supplement of this value, 180° -60.95° = 119.05°.

Whats the error?Jonah says a common denominator for 3/4 and 2/5 is 9.What is Jonahs error?
sammy [17]
In order to get the common denominator when adding fractions or subtracting fractions, you have to make sure  that the denominator of the two items are divisible by each other. In this case, 9 is not divisible by any of the given denominators which is 4 and 5. So in this case, the common denominator will have to be 20. 5 x 4 will equal to 20 and you will also multiply 3 x 5 to get the new numerator. After that, you will multiply 2 x 4 to get the new numerator of the other fraction. The new fractions will be 15/20 and 8/20. From there, you can add or subtract
