Answer
The identity is $\frac{\tan \theta -\tan \phi }{1+\tan \theta \tan \phi }$.
Work Step by Step
We know the identity $\tan \left( \theta -\phi \right)$ is the difference between the tangent of the first angle and tangent of the second angle divided by 1 plus the product of both angles. By expressing the subtraction as an addition and using the additive identity $\tan \left( \theta +\phi \right)$, we obtain the result below. We recall that tan is odd -- that is, $\tan \left( -\theta \right)=-\tan \theta $.
$\begin{align}
& \tan \left( \theta -\phi \right)=\tan \left( \theta +\left( -\phi \right) \right) \\
& =\frac{\tan \theta +\tan \left( -\phi \right)}{1-\tan \theta \tan \left( -\phi \right)} \\
& =\frac{\tan \theta -\tan \phi }{1+\tan \theta \tan \left( \phi \right)}
\end{align}$
Hence, the identity for the given expression is $\frac{\tan \theta -\tan \phi }{1+\tan \theta \tan \phi }$.
