You can put this solution on YOUR website! If csc t = 25/24 and tan t < 0, then sec t is equal to what?
assume domain [0, 2π]
**
Since tan<0, and csc>0, you are working with a reference angle in quadrant II
csc=hypotenuse/opp side=25/24
adj side=√(25^2-24^2)=√49=7
sec t=hypotenuse/adj side=-25/7 in quadrant II
