Thank you Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The polar coordinates are r the distance to the origin and theta, the angle the positive x-axis would have to sweep to get to the point.
Maybe you should try the mathisfun website. It explains it with bright colors, and I am only typing text in black and white.
The distance from the point (1,-1) to (0,0) is and the angle theta is
-45 degrees or
if your course uses -180 to 180 degrees for theta, or
315 degrees or if the convention is 0 to 180 degrees or to
