Answer:


\cos (-270\degree)=0.

Explanation:

We want to find the value of
\cos (-270\degree).

Note that;


\cos (-\theta)=\cos (\theta)

This implies that;


\cos (-270\degree)=\cos (270 \degree)

Also 270 degrees is a quadrantal angle.

On the unit circle,
\cos (270\degree) is the x-coordinate of the point
(0,-1)

Hence,
\cos (-270\degree)=0.
