How do you convert (18,-7) into polar coordinates? Precalculus Polar Coordinates Converting Coordinates from Polar to Rectangular 1 Answer Alan P. Oct 27, 2016 Cartesinan: (x,y)=18,-7) rarr Polar: (r,theta)=(19.31,-0.37) theta given rn *radians# Explanation: "radius" = sqrt(18^2+(-7)^2) ~~19.31321 (using a calculator) theta = "arctan"(-7/18) ~~-0.37089 (again with teh calculator) Answer link Related questions What is the formula for converting polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates?
