sin(theta) = (6sqrt52)/52, cos(theta) = (-4sqrt52)/52, sec(theta) = -sqrt52/4, csc = sqrt(52)/6 and cot(theta) = -4/6

Explanation:

The cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent:

cot(theta) = -4/6

Use 1 + tan^2(theta) = sec^2(theta) to obtain the secant and the cosine; we know that both the secant and the cosine must be negative because we are given sin(theta) > 0

1 + ((-6)/4)^2 = sec^2(theta)

sec^2(theta) = 16/16 + 36/16

sec^2(theta) = 52/16

sec(theta) = -sqrt52/4

cos(theta) = (-4sqrt52)/52

sin(theta) = (-6/4)cos(theta)

sin(theta) = (6sqrt52)/52

csc = sqrt(52)/6
