Andrea plots (-5, -π/2) on the polar plane. How does she proceed?
Drag a phrase to each box to correctly complete the statements.
Andrea first determines which line the angle of rotation places the point on. This line tells Andrea that the point must lie on the positive x axis if r is positive or negative x axis if r is negative.
The radius of 5 tells Andrea that the point lies on the fifth circle of the polar plane. The value of r is negative. Therefore, the point will lie on the negative y axis.
Options:
- positive x axis
- negative x axis
- positive y axis
- negative y axis
