If the terminal side of angle A passes through (-5,2) find the value of sec A

The value of sec A = - √29/5

Step-by-step explanation:

As the terminal side of angle 'A' passes through (-5,2).

so the angle is in the 2nd quadrant.

We can find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem

As we know that

cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse

sec A = 1/cosA

         = hypotenuse/adjacent

         = √29/-5

         = - √29/5

Therefore, the value of sec A = - √29/5

the answer is c.
