Please help find the value of the 6 trigonometric functions of angle α, where angle α is formed by the positive x-axis and the line segment from (0, 0) to ( - 4, 5).

Did you plot the point? Determine the length of the hypotenuse?

I don't understand how to find what makes up the functions, is just the legs ? do i plot out the line segment by going to -4,5 and make a triangle. I got 9 for the hypotenuse when i tried to use the Pythagorean theorem i have no idea if its right and online calculators say that a side cant be negative. so it wouldn't If the hypotenuse is right i guess I just have to plug them all in to the functions and get the right answer? im sorry for the load of questions im on my last resort at the moment
