As described below.

Standard form of equation is #y = A sec (Bx - C) + D#

#y = 2 sec (1/2(theta - 90^@))#

#y = 2 sec ((theta / 2) - 45^@)#

#y = 2 sec ((theta / 2 ) - (pi/4))#

#"Amplitude " = |A| = "None for secant function"#

#"Period " = pi / |B| = (2pi) / (1/2) = 4pi#

#"Phase Shift " = -C / B =( pi/4) / (1/2) = pi/2 " to the right"#

#"Vertical Shift " = D = 0#

graph{2sec((x/2) - (pi/4)) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
