Answer:


-3/√(58)

Explanation:

tan = opposite / adjacent

opposite side is the y-coordinate of a point on the terminal side

adjacent side is the x-coordinate of a point on the terminal side

if the terminal side is in the second quadrant (the top-left quadrant), a coordinate on the terminal side would have a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate

This being the case:

the opposite side (y) would be -3 and the adjacent side (x) would be 7

using the Pythagorean theorem:


a^2+b^2=c^2


7^2+(-3)^2=c^2

The hypotenuse is c, so it equals
√(58)

sin = opposite / hypotenuse

so sin(theta) =
-3/√(58)
