If we add \displaystyle 2\pi to \displaystyle -5\pi/3\,, we get a new angle in the first quadrant which corresponds to the same point on the unit circle as the old angle \displaystyle -5\pi/3 and consequently has the same tangent value,

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\tan\Bigl(-\frac{5\pi}{3}\Bigr) = \tan\Bigl(-\frac{5\pi}{3}+2\pi\Bigr) = \tan\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sin\dfrac{\pi}{3}}{\cos\dfrac{\pi}{3}} = \frac{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{3}\,\textrm{.} \end{align}
