Answer

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{7\pi}{6}$ radians= $\frac{7\times180}{6}^{\circ}=210^{\circ}$ $210^{\circ}$ is in the third quadrant and sine function is negative in the third quadrant. As $\theta$ is in quadrant III, the reference angle is $\theta'= \theta-180^{\circ}=210^{\circ}-180^{\circ}=30^{\circ}$ $\sin\frac{7\pi}{6}=\sin210^{\circ}=-\sin30^{\circ}=-\frac{1}{2}$
