Thanks so much :) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine the measure of the standard position angle θ if the point P(-4, 3) is on the terminal arm of angle θ, where 0º<θ<360º.
-------------------------
tan(theta) = y/x = 3/(-4) = -3/4
----
Ans: arctan(-3/4) = -36.87 = 323.13 degrees or 180-36.87 = 143.13 degrees
