Explain how to determine the angle [math]\theta[/math] when [math]\tan \theta =-2[/math] by referring to the unit circle in your diagram.
To find the angle θ when tan θ = −2, you can use two equivalent visual approaches on the unit circle.[br]First, draw a line through the origin with slope −2; the points where this line intersects the unit circle represent the angles whose tangent value is −2.[br]Alternatively, locate the vertical line x = 1 and find the point on this line whose y‑coordinate is −2, which represents the ratio y/x = −2.[br]Drawing a line from the origin through this point will again intersect the unit circle at the same two positions.[br]By measuring the angles from the positive x‑axis to these intersection points, you can determine the possible values of θ on the unit circle.
