Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
In the quadrant IV, it is only a cos θ that is positive.
Given that tan θ = –8∕15
Where tan θ = opposite ÷ adjacent
Where opposite = 8 and adjacent = 15
We can find the hypothenus by using pythagorean theorem
Hypothenus = sqrt(15^2 + 8^2)
Hypothenus = sqrt(289)
Hypothenus = 17.
Sin θ = opposite ÷ hypothenus
Sin θ = 8/17
Since Sin θ is also negative in the fourth quadrant, therefore
Sin θ = - 8/17
Option C is correct.
