The point P is on the unit circle. Find P(x, y) from the given information. The x-coordinate of P is 12/13 , and the y-coordinate is negative.

Answer: P( x, y ) = ( -5/13, 12/13 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

p( x, y ) is on the unit circle,

Radius of the circle must be 1

so the equation x² + y² = r²

x = 12/13 and r = 1

(12/13)² + y² = 1²

y² = 1 - (12/13)²

y = √ [ 1 - (12/13)² ]

y =  ±5/13

since the y-coordinate is negative y = -5/13

Therefore, P( x, y ) = ( -5/13, 12/13 )
