Answer:

Quadrant 4

Explanation:

If the given angle was positive, then we go clockwise.

But it's negative so we go counterclockwise.

An alternative way of graphing

Quadrant 1 is 0-90°

Quadrant 2 is 90-180°

Quadrant 3 is 180-270°

Quadrant 4 is 270-360°

Subtract the given angle by 360 until no longer possible

750 - 360 = 390 390 - 360 = 30

Remember that this was originally a negative angle

Instead of going clockwise to quadrant 1, we go counterclockwise to quadrant 4, ending up at 330°

Determine the quadrant in which the terminal side of the given angle lies. -750°-example-1
