Select the point on the terminal side of 0.

0 = - 60 °

(a)

(- 1, - 1)

(b)

(1, - \sqrt 3)

(c)

(- \sqrt 3, 1)

As we know from the Trigonometric functions

\tan θ = \frac{y}{x}

\tan - 60^{\circ} = \frac{y}{x}

- \sqrt{3} = \frac{y}{x}

Now check the points whose

\frac{y}{x}

value is equal to

- \sqrt{3}

. Than we cansay that the point is on the terminal side of theta.
a) For the point (-1,-1)
b) For the point

(1, - \sqrt{3})

\frac{y}{x} = \frac{- \sqrt{3}}{1} = - \sqrt{3}

c) For the point

(- \sqrt{3}, 1)

\frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{- \sqrt{3}} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

So the point b is the terminal side of theta.
Result : B)

(1, - \sqrt{3})
