Graph repeats every 180°
Period is therefore 180°

The graph repeats itself every pi radians (180 degs). Therefore the period is pi rad

The period of any tangent equation in the form of tan(ax) has period of pi/a. In this case, a=1, so the period is pi. The -5 is irrelevant in this question.

the period is pi. The graph goes from -pi/2 to pi/2, and then repeats itself every interval of pi.
