Final answer:

To change x = 2 to polar coordinates, we need to find the radial distance (r) and angle (θ) of the point.

Step-by-step explanation:

To change the rectangular coordinate x = 2 to polar coordinates, we need to find the radial distance and angle.

In the polar coordinate system, the radial distance (r) is the distance of the point from the origin. Since x = 2, the distance from the origin is 2 units.

The angle (θ) is the angle that the line connecting the point to the origin makes with the positive x-axis. Since x = 2, the angle is either 0º or 180º, depending on the quadrant. Without more information, we cannot determine the exact angle.
