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

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
