The polar form of point #(0,-2)# is #(2,(3pi)/2)#

The point #(0,-2)# is on the negative y-axis between

3rd and 4th quadrant at a distance of #2# from the origin.

Polar form of a point is #(r,theta) ; r # is distance from the

origin#(0,0)# and #theta# is the angle of the point from #0^0#

of #x# axis anticlockwise.The polar form of point #(0,-2)# is

#r=2 ,theta= (3pi)/2 or (2,(3pi)/2)#

The polar form of point #(0,-2)# is #(2,(3pi)/2)# [Ans]
