Algebra.Com's Answer #109959 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! p(-15/17,-8/17) is found on the unit circle. Find sin 0 ( a line through the middle of 0)and cos 0 ( a line through the middle of 0) \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "By \"a line through the middle of O\" I'll assume you mean from the point to the Origin. \n" ); document.write( "Draw a unit circle about the origin and plot the point on it. \n" ); document.write( "The sine of the angle (between the x-axis and the line) is the side opposite, \n" ); document.write( " -8/17, over 1, and the cosine of the angle is the side adjacent over 1, = 15/17. \n" ); document.write( "So sin O = -8/17 and the cos(O) = 15/17 \n" ); document.write( "Angle O = -28 degs, or 332 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " |
