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)
