hm.
if r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) what is r?
zarkam21:
sqrt 2
Vocaloid:
good so that eliminates C and D
now if theta = arctan(y/x) what is theta?
zarkam21:
-pi/4

good, let's convert that to degrees since the answers are all in degrees
-pi/4 = -45 degrees, add 360 to that since we don't have -45 as one of the choices

good guess but 5pi/3 is greater than pi so that would put it below the x-axis
as a hint, notice how that 90 degree angle (or pi/2 angle) is made of three segments, divide pi/2 by 3, then multiply by the number of segments between the polar axis and the point

pi/6
Vocaloid:
good start, that's one of the segment angle values, then just multiply that by 4 since we have four segments

to go from positive to negative r values you have to subtract pi from the angle
since that's already been done you just have to multiply the r-value by -1
zarkam21:
the r value is the x value?

we're in polar so the coordinate given is (r, theta)
zarkam21:
-5pi/4
Vocaloid:
the first number is r so you would multiply 3 by -1 to get the solution
