Hint: In this problem, we have to convert the given degrees to its equivalent radians. We know that to convert the value of angle in degrees to its equivalent radians we should multiply the given value with π180 as the value of 180 degrees is π in radians.

Complete step by step answer:
We know that the given degree is -150.
We should convert the given degrees to its equivalent radians.
We should know that, one complete revolution counter clockwise in an XY plane will be equal to 2π(in radians) or 360 (in degrees), so we can write
2π=360π=180
 We can see that π=180 and if we want to convert the value of angle in degrees to its equivalent radians, we should multiply the given value with π180.
We can multiply the given -150 value with π180, we get
150×π180
We can either take π as 3.14 or we can use calculator to simplify the above step for the exact value, we get
150×π180=5π6=2.618radians.

Note: We should always remember the formula to convert from degree to radians or from radians to degrees to solve these types of problems. We should know that why we multiply the given number with π180 to convert into its radians as the value of 180 degrees is π in radians. We should also concentrate on the multiplication part as we can take π as 3.14 or 227 either we can use calculators.
