Angels don't help with math homework.
We have x=-2 and y=3 and magnitude aka hypotenuse
[tex]h = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} =\sqrt{(-2)^2+(3)^2}=\sqrt{13}[/tex]
Now the trig functions are straightforward;
[tex]\cos \theta = \dfrac x h = - \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{13}}[/tex]
[tex]\sin \theta = \dfrac y h = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{13}}[/tex]
[tex]\tan \theta = \dfrac y x = - \dfrac 3 2 [/tex]
I won't bother to move the radicals to the numerator because I think that's a waste of time, but your teacher may feel differently.
The x value is the adjacent side and the y is the opposite side and to find the hypotenuse you use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
x = -2 and y = 3
-2^2 + 3^3 = c^2
4 + 9 = c^2
13 = c^2
c = square root of 13
Then plug in the values for sine, cosine, and tangent:
sine = opp / hyp = 3 / square root of 13
cosine = adj / hyp = -2 / square root of 13
tangent = opp / adj = 3 / -2
