To find the sine of an angle in Quadrant II with a cosine of -4/7, we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1.

Since the angle is in Quadrant II, the sine will be positive.

We know that cos(θ) = -4/7.

Let's calculate sin(θ):

sin^2(θ) + cos^2(θ) = 1
sin^2(θ) + (-4/7)^2 = 1
sin^2(θ) + 16/49 = 1
sin^2(θ) = 1 - 16/49
sin^2(θ) = 33/49

Taking the square root of both sides gives:
sin(θ) = ± √(33/49)

Since the angle is in Quadrant II, sin(θ) is positive. Therefore, the sine of the angle is:

sin(θ) = √(33/49) = √33/7

So, the answer is √33/7.
