Given:


s=-(5\pi)/(3)

To find the point (x,y) on the unit circle:

The coordinate of the unit circle can be derived by,


(\cos s,\sin s)

Substituting the value of s, we get


\begin{gathered} (\cos (-(5\pi)/(3)),\sin (-(5\pi)/(3)))=(\cos (2\pi-(5\pi)/(3)),\sin (2\pi-(5\pi)/(3))) \\ =(\cos ((\pi)/(3)),\sin ((\pi)/(3))) \\ =((1)/(2),\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) \end{gathered}

Hence, the coordinate point on the unit circle is,


((1)/(2),\frac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2})
