(-4, 3) is a point on the terminal side of an angle. Find the six trig
functions of the angle formed.

What happens when you divide the sine ratio by the cosine ratio?

When r = 1, we obtain the unit circle. The unit circle is important

because ( x, y ) ( cos , sin ).
In other words, x = _____ and y = _____ . Furthermore, y/x = tan.
We can use the unit circle to nd the trig ratios of the 4
of 90o or radians).
