To convert from rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r, θ), the following equations should be used:
r = sqrt( x^2 + y^2) <span>θ = tan^-1 (y/x) </span> Substituting (-3,3) accordingly to the equations, we obtain r equal to 3*sqrt(2) and θ equal to -π/4. Thus, the polar coordinates equivalent to (-3,3) is (3*sqrt(2), -π/4).
