A point (-2,-5) is on the terminal side of angle θ when drawn in standard position. Find the exact value of each of the six trigonometric functions of θ.
------------
Find radius, the distance from (0,0) to the point.
r = sqrt(2^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(29)
---------
sin = y/r = -2/sqrt(29)
cos = x/r
tan = y/x
---
cot = 1/tan
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin
