    Hello : sec (θ) = (√26) / 5 and: sin (θ) < 0

    note : sec (θ) = 1/cos (θ)

    so : 1/cos (θ) = (√26) / 5

    cos (θ) = 5/√26

    cos² (θ) + sin² (θ) = 1

    25/26+sin² (θ) = 1

    sin² (θ) = 1/26

    sin (θ) = - (1/√26) ... because : sin θ < 0

    tan (θ) = sin (θ) / cos (θ) = - (1/√26) / 5/√26 = - 1/5
