Answer

$-\frac{3}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Recall the identity $\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$ $\implies (\frac{4}{5})^{2}+\sin^{2}\theta=1$ $\implies \sin^{2}\theta=1-\frac{16}{25}=\frac{9}{25}$ $\implies \sin\theta=\pm\frac{3}{5}$ $\sin\theta$ is negative in the fourth quadrant. $\implies\sin\theta=-\frac{3}{5}$
