OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\dfrac{-3\pi}{4}\) can u draw it on xy plane ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can draw it by using the Unit Circle

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes put the angle here plz :P |dw:1404597963922:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it -135°?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1404598104887:dw|

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that correct?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes ur correct , now u need to find coordinate |dw:1404598156552:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't theta just 45°?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes ur correct :) now find r,and y note that \(x=r cos \theta\) \(y=r sin \theta\) |dw:1404598306809:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I find r and y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is y -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the tangent of 45=y/-1 and got -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ikram002p I'm confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I must've done something wrong because a right triangle cannot have equal sides
