nope

The coordinates of a point can be expressed in either cartesian or polar coordinates.  In this case there's no need to worry about cartesian coordinates.  

r = the radius = the distance of the given point from the origin = 6
theta = the angle measured from the positive x-axis = - pi/5

You could convert -pi/5 to degrees if you wish.

Graph the point (6, -pi/5)

From your graph we can begin to answer the question you've posted.

$$Hint:-\frac{ \pi }{ 5 }\frac{ 180~ \deg }{ \pi }=?~\deg$$
