How do I go about turning "theta = pi/10" into rectangular coordinates

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-12] [Hit: ]
y/x = tan(π/10) ==> y = tan(π/10)x.This is a line through the origin with slope m = tan(π/10).......
I have a test tomorrow :(

-
if Θ = π/10, then

tan(Θ) = tan(π/10),

and since tan(Θ) = y/x,

y=[tan(π/10)]∙x


use calculator for approximation for tan(π/10)


hope that helps.

tanΘ = y/x provided x ≠ 0.

So

y/x = tan(π/10) ==> y = tan(π/10)x.

This is a line through the origin with slope m = tan(π/10).
