The given point is in quadrant II with magnitude 2 ()

The primary angle is 120 degrees.

The polar coordinates can have either magnitude 2 with an angle of 120 degrees plus some multiple of 360 degrees, or a magnitude of -2 with an angle of 300 degrees (120 plus 180) plus some multiple of 360 degrees. So, for example...

(2,120 degrees)
(2,480 degrees)
(2,-240 degrees)
(-2,300 degrees)
(-2,-420 degrees)
(-2,1020 degrees)
etc...
