so hmmm notice
\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-4\leftarrow opposite}{5\leftarrow hypotenuse}

they hypotenuse, is just the radius, thus is never negative, since it's just a unit

now, check the picture below, that's the angle, and its reference angle

so.. use the pythagorean theorem to get the adjacent side, or "x" value

keeping in mind that
\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent} =\cfrac{y}{x} \qquad \qquad sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent} =\cfrac{r}{x}
