#sin(-270^circ) = 1# and #sin(360^circ) = 0#

Explanation:

All points on the Unit Circle are of the form #(cos(theta),sin(theta))#.

#360^circ# corresponds to the point on the Unit Circle that's on the positive #x#-axis. That point is #(1,0)#. From this we know that #sin(360^circ) = 0#.

#-270^circ# is coterminal to #90^circ#. The point on the Unit Circle that corresponds to #90^circ# is #(0,1)#. From this we know that #sin(-270^circ) = 1#
