Explanation:
Using the formulae that links Cartesian to Polar coordinates.
•r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)" and " theta=tan^-1(y/x)∙r=√x2+y2 and θ=tan−1(yx) here x = 1 and y = -7
rArrr=sqrt(1^2+(-7)^2)=sqrt50=5sqrt2⇒r=√12+(−7)2=√50=5√2 and
theta=tan^-1(-7)≈-1.429" radians"" or" ≈-81.87^@θ=tan−1(−7)≈−1.429 radians or≈−81.87∘
rArr(1,-7)=(5sqrt2,-1.429)=(5sqrt2,-81.87^@)⇒(1,−7)=(5√2,−1.429)=(5√2,−81.87∘)
