Answer:

Solution : Option D

Explanation:

Let's start by listing two cases made possible when r is positive, in ( r, θ ). Remember that in polar coordinates a point is expressed in an ordered pair, where r is the distance from the pole (in this case 9, as it lies on the 9th circle) and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis.

( 9, θ ) here theta will be the angle to the terminal side with respect to the positive x - axis. This angle will be 60 degrees more than 90, or 90 + 60 = 150 degrees

( 9, θ ) and here theta will be the remaining degrees, or 360 - 150 = 210 degrees. Right away your solution will be (9, 210°)
