Question

Polar coordinates of a point are given. Find the rectangular coordinates of the point. (-5, -180°)

A. (-5, 0)

B. (0, -5)

C. (0, 5)

D. (5, 0)

Answer 1

Hint: Since the angle is -180, you are going "negative 5 to the left". That means you are going "positive 5 to the right". Another hint: you are on the x-axis. You should be able to take it from there.

Answer 2

C @tcarroll010

Answer 3

Graph that point and then you'll know whether or not that is correct. Is that point on the x-axis or is it off of the x-axis?

Answer 4

ON X

Answer 5

I can't see your graph.

Answer 6

O MY MISTAKE SORRY

Answer 7

np, do you see it now?

Answer 8

YES I DO

Answer 9

Good job! Nice working with you! Sounds like you are on track now.

Answer 10

NICE WORKING WITH YOU ALSO ;-)

Answer 11

You do realize that Cartesian coordinate points are of the form (x, y), right? And since we have x = 5 and y = 0, you should get the right selection now. Are you all set?

Answer 12

YES D. THANKS AGAIN

Answer 13

Great job! Bazinga!

Answer 14

LOL KABOOM!!
