Answer

$(a)$ $\sin \theta =\frac{y}{r}$ $\cos \theta =\frac{x}{r}$ $\tan \theta =\frac{y}{x}$ $\csc \theta =\frac{r}{y}$ $\sec \theta =\frac{r}{x}$ $\cot \theta =\frac{x}{y}$ $(b)$ $\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5}$ $\cos \theta =-\frac{3}{5}$ $\tan \theta =-\frac{4}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$(a)$ $\sin \theta =\frac{y}{r}$ $\cos \theta =\frac{x}{r}$ $\tan \theta =\frac{y}{x}$ $\csc \theta =\frac{r}{y}$ $\sec \theta =\frac{r}{x}$ $\cot \theta =\frac{x}{y}$ $(b)$ We have the following values : $x=-3$ $y=4$ $r=\sqrt{(-3)^2+4^2}=\sqrt{25}=5$ Using the expressions in $(a)$ we can write : $\sin \theta =\frac{4}{5}$ $\cos \theta =-\frac{3}{5}$ $\tan \theta =-\frac{4}{3}$
