Chapter 5 - Secton 5.1 - The Unit Circle - 5.1 Exercises - Page 407: 15

Answer

$P(\frac{5}{13},\frac{-12}{13})$

Work Step by Step

We have the following equation for the unit circle: $x^{2}+y^{2}=1$, so we plug in $P(\frac{5}{13},y)$, $(\frac{5}{13})^{2}+y^{2}=1$ $ y^{2}=1 - \frac{25}{169}= \frac{144}{169}$ $y = \frac{12}{13}$ or $y = - \frac{12}{13}$ but the y-coordinate is negative so $y = - \frac{12}{13}$
