Answer

$\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{4\pi}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using trigonometric identities, we have $4sec\theta+6=-2 \longrightarrow \frac{4}{cos\theta}=-8 \longrightarrow cos\theta=-\frac{1}{2} \longrightarrow \theta=\pi-\frac{\pi}{3},\pi+\frac{\pi}{3} \longrightarrow \theta=\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{4\pi}{3}$
