A point on the terminal side of angle θ is given. Find the exact value of the indicated trigonometric function of θ.
-$( 7,5 )$ Find $\tan \theta$.
A) $\frac { 5 } { 7 }$
B) $\frac { 7 } { 5 }$
C) $\frac { 7 } { 9 }$
D) $\frac { 5 } { 9 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tangent of an angle θ in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Here, the point (7,5) indicates that the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent side is 7, so $\tan \theta = \frac{5}{7}$.

A Point on the Terminal Side of Angle θ Is (7,5)( 7,5 )(7,5)

A Point on the Terminal Side of Angle θ Is $( 7,5 )$
