Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The angle α is in the second quadrant}}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：The sine of an angle is positive in the first and second quadrants.

Step 2 ：The secant of an angle is negative in the second and third quadrants.

Step 3 ：Therefore, the angle α must be in the second quadrant where both conditions are satisfied.

Step 4 ：\(\boxed{\text{The angle α is in the second quadrant}}\)
