(a) We can see the point plotted on the graph below. (b) We can write two pairs of polar coordinates for this point: $(3, 270^{\circ})$ $(-3, 90^{\circ})$

Work Step by Step

$(0, -3)$ (a) We can see the point plotted on the graph below. (b) $r = \sqrt{(0)^2+(-3)^2} = 3$ The angle $x$ is $270^{\circ}$ counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. We can write two pairs of polar coordinates for this point: $(3, 270^{\circ})$ $(-3, 90^{\circ})$
