As you travel on the unit circle counterclockwise from \(0\) radians to \(\frac {\pi }{2}\) radians, you move
up and to the left.
On the interval \(\left (0, \frac {\pi }{2} \right )\), \(\cos (\theta )\) is increasing decreasing.
On the interval \(\left (0, \frac {\pi }{2} \right )\), \(-\sin (\theta )\) is positive negative.
