A(-3,pi%2F6)
r=-3+and theta=30°

Change the radius from negative to positive by adding pi to the angle.
→A(3,pi%2F6%2Bpi)
→A(3,7pi%2F6) => r=3+and theta=210°

Here is the point plotted on a polar plane:

or convert to cartesian coordinates
x+=+-3%2A+cos%28pi%2F6%29+=-2.6
y+=-3%2A+sin%28pi%2F6%29=-1.5
