If sin%28theta%29+=+-2%2F7, what are the possible coordinates for point "P?" What are the values of cos%28theta%29 and tan%28theta%29?
-----------
cos = sqrt(1 - sin^2) = sqrt(45/49) = 3sqrt(5)/7
cos may be + or minus, the quadrant is not given
tan = sin/cos = -2/(3sqrt(5)) = -2sqrt(5)/15 (sign not known)
==============
Where is point P?
