This value is in the positive quadrant meaning that all values remain positive. To answer this problem you must have an understanding of trig ratios being that tangent is opposite/adjacent. When you plot the points and draw a triangle using the origin of the point, you find that the adjacent value is 5 and opposite value is 15
