Answer:
0.249
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent (according to the SOH CAH TOA rule), which effectively means y/x in this case.
So -0.242 / -.970 ≈ 0.249
Other explanation:
On a unit circle,
y = sin(θ)
and
x = cos(θ).
And since, tan = sin/cos, tan(θ) = y/x. You y and x are given, so calculating tan is a matter of dividing them.

answer is C
The slope of the first equation has a slope of one and a y intercept of -4. The second equation has a y intercept of -2.3333 as seen when plugging in 0 for x, so the same y-intercept and same line are out of the question. This means either they have the same slope and thus are parallel or intersect at some point. A simple way to find out? Plug in 1 for x on the second. If it isn't -1.33333, which is a slope of positive 1 such as in the first equation, they WILL INTERSECT somewhere. When plugging in 1, we get
3y - 1 = -7
3y = -6
y = -2
(1, -2) is the next point after (0, -2.3333)
That means it is most certainly not the same slope, and thus they will intersect at some point. The two slopes are 1/1 and 1/3 if you weren't aware.
