How do you convert (theta)=(-7pi)/4(θ)=−7π4 into cartesian form? Precalculus Polar Coordinates Converting Equations from Polar to Rectangular 1 Answer Bdub Sep 11, 2017 see below Explanation: Use the formula tan theta =y/xtanθ=yx theta=tan^-1 (y/x)θ=tan−1(yx) Therefore, theta=(-7pi)/4θ=−7π4 tan^-1 (y/x)=(-7pi)/4tan−1(yx)=−7π4 y/x=tan((-7pi)/4)yx=tan(−7π4) y/x = 1yx=1 :.y=x Answer link Related questions What is the polar equation of a horizontal line?
