Rewrite the given equation of the terminal side in slope-intercept form to understand the line better. Starting with the equation $$2x + y = 0$$, solve for $$y to $$get $$y = -2x. $$Since the terminal side lies on the line $$y = -2x$$ with the restriction $$x \geq 0$$, consider a point on this line where $$x is $$positive. For simplicity, choose $$x = 1$$, then $$y = -2(1) = -2. $$This point $$(1, -2)$$ lies on the terminal side. Determine the angle $$	heta in $$standard position whose terminal side passes through the point $$(1, -2). $$Use the definition of tangent: $$	an(	heta) = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2. $$Since $$x \geq 0$$ and $$y \u003c 0$$, the point is in the fourth quadrant, so $$	heta is $$the least positive angle between $$0$$ and $$2\pi$$ with $$	an(	heta) = -2. $$Calculate the six trigonometric functions of $$	heta$$ using the coordinates of the point $$(1, -2). $$First, find the radius $$r = \sqrt{x^2$ + y^2$} = \sqrt{1^2$ + (-2)^2$} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}. $$Then, use the definitions: $$\sin(	heta) = \frac{y}{r}$$, $$\cos(	heta) = \frac{x}{r}$$, $$	an(	heta) = \frac{y}{x}$$, $$\csc(	heta) = \frac{r}{y}$$, $$\sec(	heta) = \frac{r}{x}$$, and $$\cot(	heta) = \frac{x}{y}. $$Summarize the values of the six trigonometric functions based on the point and radius found, keeping in mind the signs of each function in the fourth quadrant.
