Answer:

option C. $-\frac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The point (-5,-12) belong to the III quadrant

The value of the cosine is negative

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the value of the hypotenuse

$h^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}\\ h^{2} =25+144\\ h^{2}=169\\h=13\ units$

The value of cosine of angle θ is the ratio between the side adjacent to angle θ and the hypotenuse

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{5}{13}$
