Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

$m \angle \theta=120$

Generally the angle of inclination is
$\theta$

$\theta =180-120$

$\theta=60$

Generally the equation for x is mathematically given by

$x=cos60\textdegree *1$

x=(1)/(2)

Since x exists in the second quadrant

Therefore the value of x in simplest form is

x=-(1)/(2)

Option C
