if p is a point on the terminal side of angle theta, an angle in standard position, evaluate the 6 trig functions for theta
P(-7,24)
You are working with a reference right triangle in quadrant II.
Its hypotenuse=√(7^2+24^2)=√(49+576)=√625=25
use x for theta
sinx=24/25
cosx=-7/25
tanx=-24/7
cscx=25/24
secx=-25/7
cotx=-7/24
