How do you plot the polar coordinate ( − 3 , − π 3 ) ?

Answer:

  see attached (black dot)

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to plot (r, θ) = (-3, -π/3), where the angle is in radians.

The basic idea is to locate the ray that is in the direction -π/3 radians, then go 3 units in the opposite direction. The point (3, -π/3) is identified in the attached graph by a red circle. Its reflection across the origin is how you plot the point for a negative radius. That reflected point is the black dot.

The equivalent coordinates are ...

  (r, θ) = (-(-3), -π/3+π) = (3, 2π/3)
