You do realize that, that was very rude, impolite, and immature. People are asking questions and you are over here messing with people.

sin t = y/r

 

r = √[ x^2 + y^2 ]  = √[ (2)^2 + (-4)^2 ]  =  √20  =   2√5

 

sin t  =  -4/ [2√5]  =  -2 / √5  ≈   -0.89

 

And to find t, we have

 

arcsin ( -2 / √5 )  = t  = -63.43°  =  296.57°  .....since (2,-4)  occurs in the 4th quadrant

 

 

cool cool cool
