Instead of doing your problem for you, I'll do one exactly like it,
step-by-step that you can use as a model to go by:

The point P(x, y) is on the unit circle in Quadrant IV.
If x = sqrt(65)/9, find y.












Since all points in Quadrant IV are (+,-), the 
y-coordinate is 

Now do yours the exact same way.
