Answer

The three positive angles are \(\boxed{\frac{10\pi}{3}, \frac{16\pi}{3}, \frac{22\pi}{3}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The point \(\left(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) on the unit circle corresponds to an angle of 240 degrees or \(\frac{4\pi}{3}\) radians in standard position.

Step 2 :To find two negative angles, we can subtract multiples of \(2\pi\) (the period of the unit circle) from \(\frac{4\pi}{3}\).

Step 3 :To find three positive angles, we can add multiples of \(2\pi\) to \(\frac{4\pi}{3}\).

Step 4 :The two negative angles are \(\boxed{-\frac{2\pi}{3}, -\frac{8\pi}{3}}\)

Step 5 :The three positive angles are \(\boxed{\frac{10\pi}{3}, \frac{16\pi}{3}, \frac{22\pi}{3}}\)
