Question

In Problems 17–30, plot each point given in polar coordinates.

$\left(-3,-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right)$

Short answer

The given point in polar coordinate is

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given Information 

The given point is $\left(-3,-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}\right).$

The point $\left(r,\theta \right)$is the distance from the origin and angle on the unit circle in the polar coordinates.

Step 2. Plotting the point 

Now, to plot the points we have$r=-3,\theta =-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$

Since r is negative the ray will be in the opposite direction of$-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{2}.$
