since point lies on unit circle

x=-1

y=0

the unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1.
this means that x^2 + y^2 = 1
if x is minus 1, then you get (-1)^2 + y^2 = 1
simplify to get 1 + y^2 = 1
solve for y to get y = sqrt(0) = 0.
the coordinate is (-1,0)
here's a picture of the unit circle that shows that.

you can see that when x = -1, y = 0.
the angle formed is 180 degrees.
actually P is on the border between quadrant II and III.
