Answer

$sin\theta =\frac{5}{13}$ $cos\theta =-\frac{12}{13}$ $tan\theta =-\frac{5}{12}$ $cot\theta =-\frac{12}{5}$ $sec\theta =-\frac{13}{12}$ $csc\theta =\frac{13}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Given $x=-12,y=5$, we have $r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}=13$: $sin\theta=\frac{y}{r}=\frac{5}{13}$ $cos\theta=\frac{x}{r}=-\frac{12}{13}$ $tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{5}{12}$ $cot\theta=\frac{x}{y}=-\frac{12}{5}$ $sec\theta=\frac{r}{x}=-\frac{13}{12}$ $csc\theta=\frac{r}{y}=\frac{13}{5}$
