To convert from radians to degrees, you multiply by 180%2Fpi

%28%28-7pi%29%2F6%29%2A%28180%2Fpi%29

%28%28-7cross%28pi%29%29%2F6%29%2A%28180%2F%28cross%28pi%29%29%29 note how a pair of pi terms cancel

%28-7%2F6%29%2A180

-7%2A%28180%2F6%29

-7%2A%2830%29 The 180 divided by 6 leads to 30

-210

The angle %28-7pi%29%2F6 radians is equivalent to -210 degrees.

You can add 360 to -210 to get to -210+360 = 150
Meaning that -210 and 150 are coterminal angles, ie, they point in the same exact direction.
