Graph the plane curve for each pair of parametric equations by plotting points, and indicate the orientation on your graph using arrows.
x=3cot t, y=3csc t

I kept coming up with undefined answers for both x and y when trying to figure with varying degree increments? What am I doing wrong?

At certain values of 't', cot(t) and cosec(t) are undefined.

Where are you getting those to be undefined?

You need to exclude those points from your domain.
