Answer

negative; II; $45^{\circ}$; $-\sqrt {2}$

Work Step by Step

$135^{\circ}$ is in the second quadrant as it is in between $90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$. In the second quadrant, the value of $\sec\theta$ is negative. For the second quadrant, reference angle $\theta'=180^{\circ}-\theta=180^{\circ}-135^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$ $\sec 135^{\circ}=-\sec \theta'=-\sec 45^{\circ}=-\sqrt 2$
