Charles plots the point with the polar coordinates (−5,−3π/4). How does he plot this point?
Charles first determines which line the angle of rotation places the point on. This line tells Charles that the point must lie in _____ if r is positive or ________ if r is negative.
The radius of 5 tells Charles that the point lies on the fifth circle of the polar plane. The value of r is negative. Therefore, the point will lie ____ the angle of rotation.
Charles first determines which line the angle of rotation places the point on. This line tells Charles that the point must lie in Quadrant III if r is positive or Quadrant I if r is negative.
The radius of 5 tells Charles that the point lies on the fifth circle of the polar plane. The value of r is negative. Therefore, the point will lie in the opposite quadrant of the angle of rotation.
