Please read the explanation.

#" "#
We are given the trigonometric function::

#color(red)(y=[-cot(x)]#

We will first generate a table of values for drawing the graph:

We must also use the constraint #color(blue)((0 <= x < 2 pi)# while graphing.

If we draw the graph for the trigonometric function :

#color(blue)(y=[-cot(x)]#,

the graph will look like:

If we use the restrictions: #color(blue)((0 <= x < 2 pi)#

our graph will look like:

Observe that the domain restrictions

will restrict the graph between #color(red)(0# and #color(red)((2 pi)# on the x-axis.

Hope it helps.
