43°

Explanation:

A reference angle is the angle between the x-axis and the terminal side of the angle. It is always positive.

If you drew the angle in standard position, the terminal side would lie in Quadrant IV. Thus, you could find the reference angle by subtracting it from 360°.

360° - 317° = 43°
