Question

How do you convert the polar coordinate (1, pi) into cartesian coordinates?

Answer 1

Polar: `(1,pi)` is equivalent to Cartesian `(-1,0)`

Explanation:

The polar coordinate `(1,pi)` is a distance (radius) of `1` from the origin and at an angle of `pi` from the positive X-axis.

This places it on the negative X-axis (i.e. `y=0`) at `x=-1`
