The segment is perpendicular to the y axis.The figure shows a circle centered at the origin with an angle of measure 𝜃 radians in standard position. The terminal ray of the angle intersects the circle at point 𝑃, and point 𝑅 also lies on the circle. The coordinates of 𝑃 are (𝑥,𝑦), and the coordinates of 𝑅 are (𝑥,-𝑦). Which of the following is true about the sine of 𝜃 ?Responses sin𝜃=𝑥5 , because it is the ratio of the horizontal displacement of 𝑃 from the 𝑦-axis to the distance between the origin and 𝑃. sin theta equals x over 5 , because it is the ratio of the horizontal displacement of P from the y -axis to the distance between the origin and P . sin𝜃=𝑥5 , because it is the ratio of the horizontal displacement of 𝑅 from the 𝑦-axis to the distance between the origin and 𝑅. sin theta equals x over 5 , because it is the ratio of the horizontal displacement of R from the y -axis to the distance between the origin and R . sin𝜃=-𝑦5 , because it is the ratio of the vertical displacement of 𝑅 from the 𝑥-axis to the distance between the origin and 𝑅. sin theta equals fraction numerator negative y over denominator 5 end fraction , because it is the ratio of the vertical displacement of R from the x -axis to the distance between the origin and R . sin𝜃=𝑦5 , because it is the ratio of the vertical displacement of 𝑃 from the 𝑥-axis to the distance between the origin and 𝑃.
Solution
The correct answer is "sin𝜃=𝑦/5, because it is the ratio of the vertical displacement of 𝑃 from the 𝑥-axis to the distance between the origin and 𝑃."
In a unit circle, the sine of an angle in standard position is defined as the y-coordinate of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the circle. In this case, the y-coordinate of point P is given as y, and the radius (distance from the origin to P) is given as 5. Therefore, the sine of the angle is y/5.
