Question

Help please!

Convert the Cartesian coordinates (1, -√3) to polar coordinates.

(2, 60°)

(2, 300°)

(4, 300°)

(4, 330°)

Answer 1

you know that \(tan\theta=x/y=-1/\sqrt{3}\)
now find theta

Answer 2

once you find that, plug it in
x=rcostheta
y=rsintheta

Answer 3

you should get your r and theta
