Explanation:

First, find the co-terminal angle for #1050^@#. Note that if you start from the positive x-axis and go counterclockwise (standard position) then you will go around the circle twice and then terminate at #330^@# which is the co-terminal for #1050^@#.

Since r is negative #(-7/2)# it means that we have to plot the point on the opposite ray from #330^@# which is the ray #150^@#.

So halfway between circle number 3 and 4 plot the point on the ray #150^@#.
