Answer:(−1,−4π/3)

Step-by-step explanation:Note that the point is on the circle whose radius is labeled 1, so r=1 or r=−1. Of the choices available, only an angle of −4π3, drawn from the negative x axis plots at the point Q. So θ=−4π3, and r must be negative, as the angle is measured from the negative x axis. Thus, the polar coordinates are (−1,−4π3).
