What is the exact value of tan θ if the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position, has a length of 6 and passes through the point (-2, -y)?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "tan = (-y)/(-2) = y/2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt[y^2+2^2] = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y^2+4 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5.66
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: tan(t) = 5.66/2 = 2.83
