We plot the point -4 = -4 + 0i which is the point (-4,0)



We draw the radius vector from the origin to the point (-4,0):



The length of the radius vector is r = 4 units.

We indicate the counter-clockwise angle q from the right side of the x-axis
around to the radius vector:



We determine from the graph that q = 180°

So
