Step 2.1.1

Subtract full rotations of $2 π$ until the angle is greater than or equal to $0$ and less than $2 π$ .

$\sin (0) \cos (y) - \cos (2 π) \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.2

The exact value of $\sin (0)$ is $0$ .

$0 \cos (y) - \cos (2 π) \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.3

Multiply $0$ by $\cos (y)$ .

$0 - \cos (2 π) \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.4

Subtract full rotations of $2 π$ until the angle is greater than or equal to $0$ and less than $2 π$ .

$0 - \cos (0) \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.5

The exact value of $\cos (0)$ is $1$ .

$0 - 1 \cdot 1 \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.6

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$0 - 1 \sin (y)$

Step 2.1.7

Rewrite $- 1 \sin (y)$ as $- \sin (y)$ .

$0 - \sin (y)$

Step 2.2

Subtract $\sin (y)$ from $0$ .

$- \sin (y)$
