Which of the following angles, when in standard position, will have its terminal side on the negative -axis?
Options
A
B
C
D
Answer & Analysis
Answer
B
Analysis
To solve this, we need to understand the direction in which the terminal side of the angle lies:
1. Standard Position: An angle is in standard position if its initial side lies along the positive -axis, and the angle is measured counterclockwise if it is positive and clockwise if it is negative.
2. Key Angles:
- : Initial side on the positive -axis.
- : Terminal side on the positive -axis.
- : Terminal side on the negative -axis.
- : Terminal side on the negative -axis.
- : Terminal side back on the positive -axis.
Let’s evaluate each option:
