If (4,-3) is a point on the terminal side of an angle theta in standard position, evaluate all six trigonometric functions of theta in simplest radical form.
---
x = 4; y = -3
r = sqrt(4^2+(-3)^2) = sqrt(25)
------
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
ctn = x/y = -4/3
