Plotting polar points

This video covers the fundamentals of polar coordinates, including their graphing and the significance of angles.

What are the components of a polar coordinate?

• M and N

• A and B

• R and Theta

• X and Y

How can you express Cartesian coordinates using polar coordinates?

• X = R cos Theta, Y = R sin Theta

• X = Theta cos R, Y = Theta sin R

• X = R sin Theta, Y = R cos Theta

• X = Theta sin R, Y = Theta cos R

In polar coordinates, what does a positive angle indicate?

• Vertical rotation

• Clockwise rotation

• Counterclockwise rotation

• No rotation

What is the radius of the second circle mentioned in the example?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 1

If a point has a negative angle, where would it be plotted?

• Above the X-axis

• Below the X-axis

• On the Y-axis

• On the origin
