Let (theta) be the angle in standard position whose terminal side contains the given point (-2,1), then compute cos(theta) and sin(theta)

\n" ); document.write( "x = -2, y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "So, r = sqrt(2^2 + 1^2) = sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "cos(t) = x/r = -2/sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "sin(t) = y/t = 1/sqrt(5)
