angle() further help

I am trying to use the angle function in order to calculate the angle of complex numbers. I have been trying to understand how the angles of complex co-ordinates in the 3rd quadrant are calculated? The example I have been using is z= -2 - 5i, the angle function (and rad2deg()) gives an answer of -111.8014. I don't understand where this figure comes from, can anyone shed some light on this?

angle gives you the value of inverse tan of imaginary values divided real value.
z= -2 - 5*1i ;
atan(imag(z)/real(z))

To avoid confusion: the imaginary and real parts. In this case that would be
atan( (-5) ./ (-2) )
Thanks for spotting my mistake Adam ;)
Or
atan( (-5) ./ (-2) )
to avoid confusion in the clearing up of the confusion :-)
