(Trigonometry Help Please!!!) P(-5,5) is a point on the terminal side of theta in standard position. What is the exact value of secant theta? Possible answers: A.) square root of 2/2 B.) negative square root of 2/2 C.) Square root of 2 (the one I picked but got wrong) D.) negative square root of 2. It's been a while since I've done this, any help is appreciated (:
