Answer

$sin(\theta) =-\frac{2\sqrt {5}}{5}$, $cos(\theta) =-\frac{\sqrt {5}}{5}$, $tan(\theta) =2$, $cot(\theta) =\frac{1}{2}$, $sec(\theta) =-\sqrt 5$, $csc(\theta) =-\frac{\sqrt {5}}{2}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $x=-1,y=-2$, the terminal side is in quadrant III with $r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}=\sqrt {5}$, we have: $sin(\theta)=\frac{y}{r}=-\frac{2\sqrt {5}}{5}$, $cos(\theta)=\frac{x}{r}=-\frac{\sqrt {5}}{5}$, $tan(\theta)=\frac{y}{x}=2$, $cot(\theta)=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{2}$, $sec(\theta)=\frac{r}{x}=-\sqrt 5$, $csc(\theta)=\frac{r}{y}=-\frac{\sqrt {5}}{2}$.
