Answer:

P(x, y) = (√3/2, -1/2)

Explanation:

There are a few special angles whose trig functions are worthwhile to remember. The top half of the table in the second attachment shows these.

The first attachment shows a unit circle and coordinates of the points at these special angles. It is worthwhile to remember there are 2π radians in a circle, so -π/6 radians (your angle) corresponds to a positive angle of 11π/6 radians.

__

The coordinates of P are ...

P(x, y) = (√3/2, -1/2)

_____

Additional comment

The coordinates of any point at angle α on a unit circle are ...

(x, y) = (cos(α), sin(α))
