Plot each point given in polar coordinates.

(-2,0)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Point in polar coordinates is plotted as:

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

We have been given a point (-2,0).

We have to plot this point in polar coordinates.

02

Step 2. Plot the graph

To graph polar coordinates (r,θ), we have to know that r represents the distance at which the point is with respect to the origin and θis the angle at which it is with respect to the polar axis.
