so hmm notice the picture below

that's (0, -3)

now, keep in mind, adjacent is 0, opposite is -3, and hypotenuse, or radius, is 3

and recall
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \qquad \qquad % cosine cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\ \quad \\\\ % tangent tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent} \qquad \qquad % cotangent cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite} \\ \quad \\ % cosecant csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite} \qquad \qquad % secant sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}
