do you know how to draw an angle with the given measures in standard positions? if the number the give me is -420 degrees?

It is indicated by the blue curved line in the graph below:

 

Notice that -420° means 420° of rotation in the clockwise
direction. 

You start at about the point 1 on the x-axis.  Then you swing around
420° clockwise as indicated by the blue curved line.  420° is more
than 360° so it's more than one swing around, for it swings around
one whole turn and ends up in the fourth quadrant 60° below the x-axis
because 420°-360°=60°
