#(2,(-11pi)/6)#

Explanation:

It works similar to regular coordinates, it's just that you're going in an arc instead of a straight line.

If the polar coordinate is #(2,(-11pi)/6)#
go right #2# units
and then go around #(-11pi)/6# = #-330^circ#

#*# the line isn't necessary, it's just there to make things clearer
