The equilibrant of a force is the force which is equal and opposite to that force. If two forces are equal and opposite, their x and y components are also equal, but the x and y components of the force are opposite in sign to those of the equilibrant.
The x and y components of the equilibrant of a force are 2 Newtons and 3 Newtons repectively.
• What angle does the force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
The opposite equilibriant force would be -2 N and -3N respectively to x and y directions. They would go like a mirror in the opposite directions and angle(both being 180)
answer/question/discussion:
• What are the components of the force?
-2N and -3N respectively with x and y components.

• What angle does the force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
180 degrees because this is like a mirror
At 0 or 180 degrees the y component would be zero. So your answer cannot be correct for the given information.
answer/question/discussion:
• What are the components of the force?
The total x component of the force would be zero since they are equal and opposite.
answer/question/discussion:
There is the force, and there is the equilibrant. Their sum is indeed zero, but the qusetion asks about the force, not the sum of the force and its equilibrant.
