Answer:
[tex]tan(\alpha)=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Tan can be defined as: [tex]\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}[/tex] as it simplifies to opposite/adjacent. If you know a bit about the unit circle, you'll know that the x-coordinate is going to be cos(theta) and the y-coordinate is going to be sin(theta). Since the sin(theta) is defined as opposite/hypotenuse, and the hypotenuse = 1, so sin(theta) is defined as the opposite side, which is the y-axis. Same thing goes for cos(theta), except the adjacent side is the x-axis.
Using this we can define tan
[tex]sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{7}\\cos(\alpha)=\sqrt{5}\\\\tan(\alpha)=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{5}} * \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}\\tan(\alpha)=-\frac{\sqrt{7*5}}{5}\\tan(\alpha)=-\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}\\[/tex]
