Problem

Suppose that $\theta$ is an angle in standard position whose terminal side intersects the unit circle at $\left(-\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{7},-\frac{5}{7}\right)$

Answer

\(\boxed{\sin \theta = -\frac{5}{7}, \sec \theta = -\frac{7 \sqrt{6}}{12}, \tan \theta = \frac{5 \sqrt{6}}{12}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :\(\sin \theta = -\frac{5}{7}\)

Step 2 :\(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{-\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{7}} = -\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{6}}\)

Step 3 :\(\sec \theta = -\frac{7 \sqrt{6}}{12}\)

Step 4 :\(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{-\frac{5}{7}}{-\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{7}} = \frac{5}{2 \sqrt{6}}\)

Step 5 :\(\tan \theta = \frac{5 \sqrt{6}}{12}\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\sin \theta = -\frac{5}{7}, \sec \theta = -\frac{7 \sqrt{6}}{12}, \tan \theta = \frac{5 \sqrt{6}}{12}}\)
