As point P is in the second quadrant, the x-coordinate of point P is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.
Then, option b or c may be the answer.

For options b:
cosθ = -5/√[(-5)² + 4²] = -5/√41

For option c:
cosθ = -4/√[(-5)² + 4²] = -4/√41

The answer is option b or c, depending the given value of cosθ.
(Most probably, the answer is c.)

Please explain this notation --> cosθ = −441√

The range of cosine is -1 to 1, so I can't figure out what you meant.

As for the answers, you can eliminate a and d because they are in the wrong quadrant.

Answer:
It's either b. (−5,4) or  c. (−4,5)

looking at the ' answers ' I will assume that cos Θ = -4 / √41...which means c) is the answer
