Answer: Quadrant 1 (northeast quadrant)

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Add on 360 degrees to do a full rotation

-302+360 = 58

So angles -302 degrees and 58 degrees are pointing in the same direction. These angles are in quadrant 1, which is the northeast quadrant

Note: because the angles -302 and 58 point in the same direction, we consider these angles to be coterminal.
