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 equilibrant force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Arctan (3 / 2) = 56 degrees
• What are the components of the equilibrant force?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
-2 & -3

Good, but see the link about that angle, which is in the third quadrant.
