Answer

$ \tan{\theta}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ $ \csc{\theta} =-\sqrt{5}$ $\sec{\theta} =-\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$ $\cot{\theta} =2$

Work Step by Step

$\tan{\theta}= \dfrac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}}$ $\therefore \tan{\theta}= \dfrac{-\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}}{-\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}$ $\therefore \csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{-\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}}=-\sqrt{5}$ $\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$ $\therefore \sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{-\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}}= -\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\tan{\theta}}$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{2}}= 2$
