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

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
