Solution

The general solution of tan θ = tan α is
θ = nπ + α, n ∈ Z.
Now, tan θ  =  – 1 

∴ tan θ  = - tan  `pi/(4)  .....[ ∵ tan  pi/4 = 1]`        

∴ tan θ = `tan(pi - pi/4)`  ...[ ∵ tan(π - θ) = – tan θ] 

∴ tan θ = `tan  (3pi)/(4)`         

∴ the required general solution is
θ = nπ + `(3pi)/(4)`, n ∈ Z.
