Question 1180077: The point P = (−5, 8) is in the second quadrant. You are used to describing it by using the
rectangular coordinates −5 and 8. It is also possible to accurately describe the location of P by using a
different pair of coordinates, P = (r; θ), called polar coordinates. The distance from the origin is r and θ
is an angle made with the positive x-axis in the counterclockwise direction. Calculate polar coordinates
for P, and notice that there is more than one correct answer.
