The second qudrant

Explanation:

#-200# degrees is a weird angle. There are probably other ways to solve this, but I'm going to convert #-200# into the (positive) equivilent angle. The entire circle is #360# degrees, and if #200# degrees are taken up, we are left with #160# degrees. #-200^0=160^0#.

If we look at the location of #160^0#, it is in the second quadrant.
