$(1, - 7)$

Step 1

To find the $\tan (θ)$ between the x-axis and the line between the points $(0, 0)$ and $(1, - 7)$ , draw the triangle between the three points $(0, 0)$ , $(1, 0)$ , and $(1, - 7)$ .

Opposite : $- 7$

Adjacent : $1$

Step 2

$\tan (θ) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ therefore $\tan (θ) = \frac{- 7}{1}$ .

$\frac{- 7}{1}$

Step 3

Divide $- 7$ by $1$ .

$\tan (θ) = - 7$
