find the exact value of sec theta for angle theta in standard position if the point (-5,-4) lie on it;s terminal side
..
let x=theta
Angle x in standard position places it in quadrant III where sin and cos are negative.
We are working with a right triangle with legs of -5 and -4.
Its hypotenuse=sqrt(5^2+4^2)=√41
sec x=√41/-5
