the terminal side of an angle in standard position passes through the point (-1,5). Calculate the values of the six trigonometric functions for angle.
========================
x = -1
y = 5
---

-------
sin = y/r
cos = x/r
tan = y/x
=================
cot = 1/tan
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin

Notice:: The terminal point is in QII where x is negative and y is positive.
x = -1 ; y = 5 ; So, r = sqrt[1^2+5^2] = sqrt(26)
--------------------
sin = y/r = 5/sqrt(26)
cos = x/r = -1/sqrt(26)
tan = y/x = -1/5
-----
csc = 1/sin
sec = 1/cos
cot = 1/tan
