In a Cartesian coordinate plane, there are 4 quadrants. The axes that divide the four quadrants are called the y and x-axis. The positive x-axis has a value of 0° or any value divisible by 360°. So we don't have any problem with the x axis since both situation given are at 0°. However, the positive y-axis is at the top while the negative y-axis is at the bottom. A negative angle means the rotation is clockwise. A positive angle means that the rotations is counter-clockwise. Thus, the answer is false.
