Question 218348: graph the point with polar coordinates (-2, 3pi/2)
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! graph the point with polar coordinates (-2, 3pi/2)
---------------------------------
The angle is (3/2)pi or (3/2)180 degrees or 270 degrees.
----------
The distance from the origin is 2 but it is negative so
instead of the point being at 270 degrees is it the opposite
direction; that is 90 degrees.
---------------------
So the point is 2 from the origin on the positive y-axis.
Cheers,
