Please see below.

Explanation:

To plot the polar coordinate (r,θ), one first draws an angle of θ and then moves a distance of r from origin.

Here we have polar coordinates as (−2,120∘), in which r=−2 a negative number.

Hence to plot the polar coordinate (−2,120∘), one moves 2 units in reverse direction of the angle of 120∘, as shown below.
