Answer

$sin\theta=-\frac{7}{25}$, $cos\theta=-\frac{24}{25}$, $tan\theta=\frac{7}{24}$, $sec\theta=-\frac{25}{24}$, $csc\theta=-\frac{25}{7}$

Work Step by Step

1. Given $cot\theta=\frac{24}{7}$ and $cos\theta\lt0$, we have $tan\theta=\frac{1}{cot\theta}=\frac{7}{24}$ and $\theta$ in quadrant III. 2. Let $x=-24, y=-7$, we have $r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}=25$ 3. We can find: $sin\theta=-\frac{7}{25}$, $cos\theta=-\frac{24}{25}$, $tan\theta=\frac{7}{24}$, $sec\theta=-\frac{25}{24}$, $csc\theta=-\frac{25}{7}$
