An explanation is given below.

The $Atan(B(x-C))+D$ function has $color(red)"no amplitude."$
The period is given by $pi/B$

$y=-tan(x-pi/2)$
On comparing with $Atan(B(x-C))+D$
We can see $B=1$

The period is $pi/1 = pi$

The period of the given function is $pi$

How do you find the amplitude and period of a function y = -tan(x - pi/2)y = -tan(x - pi/2)?
