Work Step by Step

Substitute $(5,-12)$ into $x^2+y^2=r^2$ to find $r$: $$x^2+y^2=r^2\\5^2+(-12)^2=r^2\\r^2=169\\r=\pm 13\\r=13$$ $\sin \theta=\frac{y}{r}=-\frac{12}{13}$ $\cos \theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{5}{13}$ $\csc \theta=\frac{r}{y}=-\frac{13}{12}$ $\sec \theta=\frac{r}{x}=\frac{13}{5}$ $\tan \theta=\frac{y}{x}=-\frac{12}{5}$ $\cot \theta=\frac{x}{y}=-\frac{5}{12}$
