The terminal side of an angle theta in standard position coincides with the line 4x + y=0 in Quadrant II. sec theta to the nearest thousandth.
-----
Let x = -1, then y = 4
---
Solve for "r":
r = sqrt[x^2+y^2] = sqrt(1+16) = sqrt(17)
-----
sec(theta) = r/x = -sqrt(17)
---
cos(theta) = -1/sqrt(17) = -0.2425..
---
theta = cos^-1(-0.2425356..) = 104.036.. degrees
