14 because a negative minus a negative is a positive; you add a line and change the sign

Step-by-step explanation:

5-(-9)=

5+9=14

subtracting by a negative is the same as adding the positive so it would be 5+9

Answer:

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{5}{8} \\ {8}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {opp}^{2} \\ {opp}^{2} = 64 - 25 = 39 \\ opp = \sqrt{39} \\ \sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{39}}{8} \\ \tan(\theta) = \frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5}} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{5}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{39}}{8}} \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{8}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{1}{\cos( \theta) } = \frac{1}{ \frac{5}{8} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{8}{5}$
