Question

PLEASE HELP -------
If P(x,y) is the point on the unit circle defined by real number theta , then cot
theta= _____.
x/y
y/x
1/x
1/y

Answer 1

The point P forms a triangle with
base length x (adjacent to our angle theta)
and height y (opposite our angle theta)
and hypotenuse 1 (because the radial length of the unit circle is 1).

cotangent theta = adjacent / opposite
cotangent theta = x / y

Answer 2

Answer: x/y
