In the Cartesian plane, an angle is measured in the anti-clockwise direction from the x-axis. A negative angle is measured in the clockwise direction from the x-axis.

However, an angle is effectively the same if you add or subtract 360 degrees. So, if you are faced with a negative angle just keep adding 360 degrees until you have a positive value.
