1.	Find the polar coordinates of the points with cartesian coordinates (−x, y).
Answer» The cartesian coordinates (-x, y) can be represented in polar coordinates by (r,Ø), where r = √(x²+ y²) andØ = π- tan^-1(y/x). The polar coordinatesystem is a two-dimensionalcoordinatesystem in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. Polar coordinates are used while representing various spherical objects in engineering and science. It is very easy to convert cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates.
