If a is the variable of the horizontal axis, then you can solve for b to get the equation of the line in slope-intercept form in the a,b plane:

-a+3b=0\implies b=\dfrac a3

i.e. a line with slope \dfrac13 through the origin, which means it is contained in the first and third quadrants. Since the terminal side of \theta has a negative sine, the angle must lie in the third quadrant.

Because the slope of the line is \dfrac13, you can choose any length along the line to make up the hypotenuse of a right triangle with reference angle \theta. Any such right triangle will have \tan\theta=\dfrac13, regardless of whether the angle is the first or third quadrant. But since \theta is known to lie in the third quadrant, and so \sin\theta and \cos\theta are both negative, you have

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac13\implies \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\dfrac{-1}{-3}\implies \cos\theta=-3

I need help on this question, It's for Algebra 1 Simplify the following expression. (7x2 + 4x - 7) + (4x2 - 6x + 4)

You can only add like terms

exg
you can addd
2+4
2x+4x
2x^2+4x^2
2x^3+4x^3

but not
2+4x
2x^2+2x^3


so when adding like terms keep the exponent
4x+2x=6x
4x^3+2x^3=6x^3

(7x^2+4x-7)+(4x^2-6x+4)
get rid of the parenthasees
7x^2+4x-7+4x^2-6x+4
group like terms (x^2 with x^2 x with x, etc)

(7x^2+4x^2)+(4x-6x)+(-7+4)
add like terms
11x^2-2x-3
