The terminal side contains the point (-5, 12). Find sin θ. Question 4 options:

-.923

-.385

.923

.385

sin theta = .923

Step-by-step explanation:

see image. An angle in standard position has one side glued to the x-axis, and the other side-the terminal side- rotating around the origin. When it gets to (-5, 12) in your problem, it stops there. 5, 12are the legs of a right triangle and they are recognizable as part of a pythagorean triple 5,12,13. So the hypotenuse is 13. Sin is OPP/HYP. So that is 12/13. Its in the 2nd quadrant, so it should be positive. We used the reference angle, bc the actual angle is the >90° angle from the positive x-axis to thru (-5,12). It calcs the same tho.

sin theta = 12/13

= 0.923

right
