Usually the angles are measured from quadrant 1, where is the angle 0°.

If the angle moves counterclokwise, it is positive, if the angles goes clokwise, it is negative.

Then "On a coordinate plane, a ray moves counter-clockwise to form an angle. It moves from quadrant 1 to quadrant 4."

Will give a positive angle, and because we know that is in quadrant 4, the angle can be any angle between 270° and 360°

"On a coordinate plane, a ray moves counter-clockwise to form an angle. It moves from quadrant 1 to quadrant 2."

Same as before, this will create an angle with a positive measure, and the angle will be between 90° and 180°
