Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that an angle in standard position starts from the positive x-axis and rotates counterclockwise.
Identify the direction of the terminal side: pointing directly downward along the negative y-axis.
Understand that the positive y-axis corresponds to 90\(\degree\), so moving downward to the negative y-axis means rotating 180\(\degree\) more from the positive y-axis.
Calculate the angle measure by adding 180\(\degree\) to 90\(\degree\), which gives the total rotation from the positive x-axis to the negative y-axis.
Conclude that the angle measure is 270\(\degree\).
