Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have to do is to find the arc tan
x/2 = arc tan (-1)
tan is negative on the 4th and second quadrant
arc tan (-1) = 135 or 315
pi is 180 degrees
so we have;
135 is 3 pi/4
multiplied by the 2
= 6 pi/4 which is 3 pi/2
315 is 7 pi/4 which is same as 7 pi/2 when we multiply by 2

the answer is d
