Answer:

اhello : tan θ = - 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ .... (*)

(cosθ)² + (sinθ)² = 1   ... (**)

theta is in quadrant 2 : cosθ ≤ 0

Substitute sinθ = 12/13  into (**) and solve for cosθ :

(cosθ)² + (12/13)² = 1  

(cosθ)²  = 1   - 144/169

(cosθ)²  = 25/169

cosθ = - 5 /13  because  cosθ ≤ 0

by (*) : tan θ = (12/13)/ (-5/13) = (12/13) ×(-13/5)

tan θ = - 12/5
