Answer:

x² + y² - 2x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

r = sqrt(x² + y²)

x = r cos(theta)

r = 2 cos(theta)

Multiply both sides by r

r² = 2r cos(theta)

x² + y² = 2x

Answer:

To transform from polar coordinates into Cartesian coordinates we have:

x = r x cos(theta)

y = r x sin(theta)

r^2 = x^2 + y^2

=> r = 2*cos(theta)

<=> r = 2*(x/r)

<=> 2x = r^2

<=> 2x = x^2 + y^2

On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point C to point D. Point C is at (negative 1, 4) and point D is at (2, 0). Point C

Answer:

distance = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we can start by plotting the two points you were provided with (see attached picture). This will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we need to find the distance between those two points, so in order to do so we can use the distance formula:

$distance = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

in this case the x's and y's are given by the given points, since they are written as ordere pairs. And ordered pairs are written in the form (x,y). So for Point C:

C=(-1,4)

$x_{1}=-1$
