Answer: a. (2.5, 300°) and (-2.5, 120°)

b. (4, 270°) and (-4, 90°)

Explanation:

Polar coordinates are written as (r, θ) where

  • r is the radius
  • θ is the angle

In the first graph, the radius is 2.5 and the angle is 300° --> (2.5, 300°)

You can also list the radius as -2.5 at angle 120° --> (-2.5, 120°)

(300 - 180)

In the second graph, the radius is 4 and the angle is 270° --> (4, 270°)

You can also list the radius as -4 at angle 90° --> (-4, 90°)

(270 - 180)
