using
 [tex] \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 [/tex]
 [tex]  \sin^2 \theta + (-3/5)^2  = 1[/tex]
 [tex]  \sin^2 \theta + 9/25 = 1[/tex]
 [tex]  \sin^2 \theta  = 1-9/25 = (25-9)/25 = 16/25[/tex]
  [tex] \sin \theta = \pm 4/5 [/tex]
in 3rd quadrant, sin is negative.
so
 [tex]  \sin \theta  = -4/5 [/tex]

now,
csc theta = 1/ sin theta = -5/4

tan theta = sin theta/ cos theta = -4/5 / -3/5 = + 4/3
