An equation of the terminal side of an angle theta in standard position is given along with a restriction on X. Find the indicated trigonometric function of theta.
8x+9y=0,x is greater or equal 0; Find cot theta
---------
Solve for "y":
y = (-8/9)x
------
slope = -8/9
--------------
tan(theta) = -8/9
-----
cot(theta) = 1/tan = -9/8
