Answer:
135degrees
Explanation:
Given that a vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3)
y component value = -3
x component value = 3
angle of the displacement theta = arctan(y/x)
theta = arctan(-3/3)
theta = arctan (-1)
theta = -45degrees
Since tan is negative in the second quadrant
theta = 180 – 45
theta = 135degrees
Hence the angle of the displacement is 135degrees
