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.

Why are cosines positive and negative?
Because the cosine of some angles is positive and the cosine of some other angles is negative.
Is there a positive or a negative angle?
Yes. Angles may be measured from the direction of the positive horizontal axis and, clockwise is negative, anticlockwise is positive.
What are negative quadrant angles?
using protactor, we use to draw angles in anticlockwise direction and that angles are called positive quadrant angles. and angles in clockwise direction, these angles are called negative quadrant angles.
What is a negative - positive?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
When multiplying numbers what do you do with the positive and negative signs?
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
