The terminal side of θ lies on given line in the specific quadrant. Find the values of the six trigonometric functions of θ by finding a point on the line.


Line : 4x + 3y = 0

Quadrant: IV

please show work. thanks

Consider point: 3,-4 on the given line, then:
sin θ = -4/5
cos θ = 3/5
tan θ = -4/3
For sec, cosec and cotan just invert these appropriately; e.g. cosec = 1/sin = -5/4

Did you sketch this line?
Do that and find the coordinates (x1, y1) of any point P on the line in the fourth quadrant (i.e. x1 positive and y1 negative)
(Hint: x = 3 makes it easy to find y.)
Then use Pythagoras' to find the distance of P from (0, 0);
call this distance r.
Then your six answers are (using the values you have for x, y, r)
sinθ = y/r
cosθ = x/r
tanθ = y/x
secθ = r/x
cosecθ = r/y
cotθ = x/y
