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]

How do you convert the rectangular point (0,-2)(0,-2) into polar form?
