Answer

$\sin{\theta} =-\dfrac{12}{13}$ $\cos{\theta} =\dfrac{5}{13} $ $\tan{\theta} =-\dfrac{12}{5}$ $\csc{\theta} = -\dfrac{13}{12}$ $ \sec{\theta} =\dfrac{13}{5}$ $\cot{\theta} = -\dfrac{5}{12}$

Work Step by Step

$ \sec{\theta} = \dfrac{r}{x} = \dfrac{13}{5}$ $\therefore x = 5 \hspace{20pt} r = 13$ $\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{r} \hspace{20pt} \because \sin{\theta} <0 \hspace{20pt}\therefore y $ is negative. $y = -\sqrt{r^2-x^2} = -\sqrt{(13)^2-(5)^2} = -12$ $\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{r} = -\dfrac{12}{13}$ $\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{x}{r} = \dfrac{5}{13} $ $\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{x} = -\dfrac{12}{5}$ $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}} = -\dfrac{13}{12}$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\tan{\theta}} = -\dfrac{5}{12}$
