Question

How do you convert `(-6, 0)` to polar form?

Answer 1

Cartesian form: `(x,y)=(-6,0)color(white)("XX")rArrcolor(white)("XX")`Polar form: `(r,theta)=(6,pi)`

Explanation:

The point `(x,y)=(-6,0)`
`color(white)("XXX")`is on the X-axis (since `y=0`)
and
`color(white)("XXX")`is a distance of `6` to the left (in the negative direction) from the origin
