This is the beginning of polar coordinates. Where pi/4 is the measurement in radians of the angle formed with the line in question that starts at the origin (0.0) and the postive x axis. The convention is postive is counter-clockwise and negative is clockwise. The result of negative pi/4 would be rotated clockwise one eighth of a circle (or 45 degrees) below the x axis and still in positive x territory.
(sqrt(2)/2,-sqrt(2)/2)
