Answer

$ sin \theta =\dfrac{y}{r}=\dfrac{3}{5} \\cos \theta =\dfrac{x}{r}=\dfrac{-4}{5} \\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{-3}{4}$ and $\csc \theta =\dfrac{r}{y}=\dfrac{5}{3} \\ \sec \theta =\dfrac{r}{x}=\dfrac{-5}{4} \\ \cot \theta =\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{-4}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Here, $ x= -4; y=3$ $ r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}=\sqrt {(-4)^2+(3)^2}=5$ The trigonometric ratios are as follows: $ sin \theta =\dfrac{y}{r}=\dfrac{3}{5} \\cos \theta =\dfrac{x}{r}=\dfrac{-4}{5} \\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{-3}{4}$ and $\csc \theta =\dfrac{r}{y}=\dfrac{5}{3} \\ \sec \theta =\dfrac{r}{x}=\dfrac{-5}{4} \\ \cot \theta =\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{-4}{3}$
