Question

An angle passes through the point (-7,-5). What is the compass heading of this angle?

(Round to the nearest hundredth).

Answer 1

Answer: 215.53

Explanation:

Take the inverse tangent of the plot point:

tan^-1 (-5/-7) = 35.5377

Add the answer to 180 (because a compass heading is found from going clockwise from the North Point) to get the final answer:

215.53 degrees
