cot (θ)= -6/5

You have to use the coordinate gride and the CAST system.

We are told that the terminal side is in standard position.

This means that we must draw a line that goes diagonal from the origin.

We are also told that this line goes trough the point(-6,5)

****To sum up this first bit: the line starts at the origin, and ends at the point (-6,5).

The next step is to create a triangle from that line.

How? Just draw a line that goes straight down to the x-axis.

You should now have a triangle.

The triangle should have a base of "-6" and a height of 5

Cotangent of θ is : the side adjacent to θ / the side opposite of θ

So, we have all this data and there is no need to solve for the hypotenuse.

using cotθ= A/O

You get cot (θ)= -6/5

θ is just the angle that lies within that triangle near the origin

wow, ur going to fail trig if u dont know what θ is. Its pronounced theta, and its a greek leter of the alphabet. It is the angle that you are solving for( like the variable for x) , and that question is triffling, i dont remember how to do it
