D) Quadrant II

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting from the positive x-axis and rotating counterclockwise, we reach an angle of 170 degrees in Quadrant II. Subtracting another 0.8 degrees from 180 degrees, we obtain 9.2 degrees. This is still in Quadrant II, so the angle $- 170.8 ^ { \circ }$ lies in the same quadrant as 170 degrees, which is Quadrant II.
