If the terminal side of \"theta\" lies along the line y = - 2 x in
\n" ); document.write( "quadrant IV, then \"tan%28theta%29+=+y%2Fx+=+-2\". From the identity \"1%2B%28tan%28theta%29%29%5E2+=+%28sec%28theta%29%29%5E2\", we get \"%28sec%28theta%29%29%5E2+=+5\", or \"sec%28theta%29+=+sqrt%285%29\", since secant is positive in the 4th quadrant. Then \"cos%28theta%29+=+1%2Fsqrt%285%29\". From this we get \"sin%28theta%29+=+-2%2Fsqrt%285%29\".
