    So there is an identity we'll need to use to solve this:

    cos (x+y) = cosxcosy - sinxsiny

    replace the numerator with the right hand side of that identity and we get:

    (cosxcosy - sinxsiny) / cosxsiny

    Separate the numerator into 2 fractions and we get:

    cosxcosycosxsiny - sinxsiny/cosxsiny

    the cosx's cancel on the left fraction, the siny's cancel on the right fraction and we're left with:

    cosy/siny - sinx/cosx

    which simplifies to:

    coty - tanx
