Explanation:
#"to convert from "color(blue)"polar to rectangular form"#
#"that is " (r,theta)to(x,y)" where"#
#•color(white)(x)x=rcosthetacolor(white)(x);y=rsintheta"#
#"here "r=5" and " theta=(3pi)/2#
#rArrx=5cos((3pi)/2)=0#
#rArry=5sin((3pi)/2)=-5#
#rArr(5,(3pi)/2)to(0,-5)#

One should recognize the special case where the angle is
This makes the x coordinate become 0 and makes y coordinate become length of the radial component, 5, overlaid upon the the negative y axis, -5.
Therefore, the point is
