It is always possible to add, or subtract, $360°$ to an angle to obtain an equivalent one. The symbol $-=$ in the following passages is not a real $=$ , but only an equivalent symbol.

$-960° -= -960°+360°-=-600°-=-240°-= 120°$

And $120^@$ is $60^@$ from the horizontal, so the reference angle for $120^@$ and for the original $960^@$ is $60^@$
