Sagot :
we know that θ is in the III Quadrant, keeping in mind that cosine as well as sine are both negative on that Quadrant.
we also know that sin(θ) = - 8/17, keeping in mind that the hypotenuse is just a radius unit and thus is never negative.

[tex]sec(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}}{\underset{adjacent}{-15}}~\hspace{10em} cot(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-15}}{\underset{opposite}{-8}}\implies cot(\theta )=\cfrac{15}{8}[/tex]
