The final answer is \(\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :We are given that \(\tan x = -2\) and \(\cos x < 0\).

Step 2 :We can use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\) to find the value of \(\sin x\) and \(\cos x\).

Step 3 :Then we can use the double angle formulas \(\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x\) and \(\cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x\) to find the values of \(\sin 2x\) and \(\cos 2x\).

Step 4 :The value of \(\cos 2x\) is \(-\frac{3}{5}\).

Step 5 :The value of \(\sin 2x\) is approximately -0.8.

Step 6 :We need to simplify the expression for \(\sin 2x\).

Step 7 :The final answer is \(\boxed{-\frac{4}{5}}\).
