Question

Find a pair of polar coordinates for the point with rectangular coordinates (5, –5).

Answer 1

Answer:

(5*sqrt(2), 5pi/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In Polar coordinates, tan(theta)=y/x and r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)

tan(theta)=-5/5=-1. Theta=5pi/4

r=sqrt(5^2+5^2)=5*sqrt(2)

Hence the Polar coordinate is (5*sqrt(2), 5pi/4)
