Work Step by Step

To find exact value of $\tan 315^{\circ}$, let's find its reference angle first. As $ 315^{\circ}$ terminates in quadrant IV, The reference angle = $ 360^{\circ} - 315^{\circ}$ = $45^{\circ}$ As $ 315^{\circ}$ terminates in quadrant IV, its $\tan$ will be negative. Therefore by reference angle theorem- $\tan 135^{\circ}$ = - $\tan45^{\circ}$ = - 1
