Solution

\[- \frac{b}{a}\]


Given:
sin α + sin β = a                  .....(i)
cos α − cos β = b                .....(ii)

Dividing (i) by (ii):

\[\Rightarrow \frac{\sin\alpha + \sin B}{\cos\alpha - \cos B} = \frac{a}{b}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2\sin\left( \frac{\alpha + \beta}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)}{- 2\sin\left( \frac{\alpha + \beta}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)} = \frac{a}{b} \left[ \because \sin A + \sin B = 2\sin\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right) \text{ and }\cos A + \cos B = - 2\sin\left( \frac{A + B}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{A - B}{2} \right) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\sin\left( \frac{\alpha + \beta}{2} \right)\cos\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)}{- \sin\left( \frac{\alpha + \beta}{2} \right)\sin\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)} = \frac{a}{b}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cot\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)=-\frac{a}{b}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\cot\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)}=\frac{1}{- \frac{a}{b}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \tan\left( \frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \right)=-\frac{b}{a}\]
