Any mathematicians for help??

I am trying to draw a Sin graph in MathCAD and have come to a complete mind blank as to how to do it
the amplitude is 1 and the phase is 90 degrees (i.e. hits 0 at -90 degrees, 90 degrees and 270 degrees, and 1 at 0 degrees)

thanks

I dont use MathCAD, im more of a mathematica freak, but surely (all these programs are nearly the same) if involves defining the function with something like f(x):= Sin(x-Pi()) and then going to an X-Y plot in some sort of insert/graph menu.

Hope this is of some help :)

y=sin(2x-90)

sweet thanks
I used y(x)=sin(x-90) worked

Its looked like it was moving the graph slightly more than 90 degrees before so thats what confused me. I think it was just random graphing that gave a fake visual
