Question

If tan$\theta$ = $\frac{-4}{3}$, the $\theta$ lies in __________

• A. I quadrant
• B. II quadrant
• C. III quadrant
• D. IV quadrant

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B

II quadrant

D

IV quadrant

The negative value of tan $\theta$ implies that $\theta$ belongs to II or IV quadrant.

Trigonometric ratio of tan$\theta$ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

tan$\theta$ is negative in $2^{nd}$ and $4^{th}$ quadrants.
