Evaluating Trig Functions & Basic Identities

1. Let 𝑃 (−5, −7) be a point on the terminal side of angle 𝜃 drawn in standard position. Find the
values of the six trig functions of 𝜃.

2. Consider 𝜃 = −120°. The angle is in Quadrant III. The reference angle is 180° − 120° = 60°.
From here, we can find all six trig functions.

sin(− 120 °)=− sin(60 ° )= −√❑
