Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given point $(0, -9)$ indicates a position on the Cartesian plane where the x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is -9. This suggests that the point lies on the y-axis below the origin. In the context of a right triangle formed with the origin and this point, the angle $\theta$ in question would be either 90 degrees or 270 degrees, depending on the direction of measurement. For both these angles, $\cos \theta = 0$, because cosine represents the horizontal distance (x-coordinate) divided by the hypotenuse, and at these angles, the point lies entirely on the vertical axis with no horizontal distance from the origin.
