Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of the angle in standard position with the terminal side passing through the point P(-4, 3)
-----------------
Since x = -4 and y = 3,
r = sqrt(4^2 + 3^2) = 5
-------------------------------
sin = y/r = 3/5
cos = x/r = -4/5
tan = y/x = -3/4
---
csc = r/y = 5/3
sec = r/x = -5/4
cot = x/y = -4/3
