Answer:

sec theta = (sqrt24/5) cos theta = -2/5 tan theta = (-[sqrt 21]/2) sec theta = 5/2 csc theta = (5sqrt21)/21 cot theta = (-2sqrt21)/21

Explanation:

During the problem, secx = -5/2, we can assume that as cos = -2/5. -2 = x. 5 = r. find for Y with: x^2+y^2=r^2. After that, plug in for the variables and you get all the answers. Rationalize the square roots, don't forget.
