Answer

$$\frac{\tan(-\theta)}{\sec\theta}=-\sin\theta$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\frac{\tan(-\theta)}{\sec\theta}$$ - Negative-Angle Identity: $$\tan(-\theta)=-\tan\theta$$ Replace into $A$: $$A=\frac{-\tan\theta}{\sec\theta}$$ - Reciprocal Identity: $$\sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}$$ - Quotient Identity: $$\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$$ Replace into $A$: $$A=\frac{-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac{1}{\cos\theta}}$$ $$A=-\frac{\sin\theta\cos\theta}{1\times\cos\theta}$$ $$A=-\sin\theta$$
