If sectheta=-(5)/(4) and sin theta gt 0,...

If `sectheta=-(5)/(4)` and `sin theta gt 0`, then `tantheta`=

A

`(4)/(3)`

B

`(3)/(4)`

C

`-(3)/(4)`

D

`-(4)/(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Angle `theta` is in quandrant II since `sec lt 0` and sin`gt0`. Therefore `tantheta=(3)/(-4)=-(3)/(4)`
