Sketch the curve with the given polar equation. θ = −pi/6?

I know for certain that its a straight line that passes through the origin but what I'm not sure is if its like this \ or like this /

This curve consists of all points $(r, \theta )$ such that the polar angle $\theta$ is $-\frac{\pi}{6}$.
It is the straight line that passes through the origin $O$ and makes an angle of $-\frac{\pi}{6}$ with the polar axis.

Thanks for your reply, by what you said, I'm assuming the line should be like this \ then
 
Yes. (Yes)
 
Ok, thanks
