Question 587142: The figure shows an angle θ in standard position with its terminal side intersecting the unit circle. Evaluate the indicated circular function value of θ. Find Tan θ. the given x,y points are (-5/13, 12/13)

If the coordinates of the point where the terminal side intersects the unit circle are (,), the tangent can be found as
The measure of that angle, by the way, is approximately .
If the terminal side were the reflection on the y-axis, you would have the reference angle, measuring
.
Then you would see as a ratio of sides in a right triangle
