First quadrant.
Zero degrees is 3 o'clock.

Quadrant in which -305 degrees lies
Since 360°-305° = 55°, 305° lacks 55° being 360°, which is
one whole revolution. But since it's negative (-305°) it
swings around clockwise starting from the right hand side
of the x-axis and swinging down from there going clockwise
like the green curved arrow below swinging around.

First quadrant.
