Answer:
12/5
Explanation:
I doubt that you actually meant If cos0= -5/13 and sin 0<0. Please use a Greek letter, such as Ф, to represent the angle.
If you'd do this, you'd have:
If cosФ= -5/13 and sin Ф<0
cos Ф and sin Ф are both negative in Quadrant III.
Recall that cos Ф = adj / hyp, and that hyp is always +. Thus, adj = -5 and hyp = +13. Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find opp:
opp² + adj² = hyp², or:
opp² = hyp² - adj². Applying this, we find that opp = -12.
Recall that tan Ф = opp / adj.
Here,
tan Ф = -12 / (-5) = +12/5
