    question about angle of inclination

    Let's say we have to find the angle of inclination of a line with equation 2x + 3y + 11 = 0 so m = -2/3 and therefore tanx = -2/3 but that gives us the answer x= -34, and this negative angle really bugs me because I don't know what to do with it. Most of the time I just ignore the negative...
