Plot points using polar coordinates. Objectives Plot points using polar coordinates. Convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates. Convert from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. Transform equations between polar and rectangular forms. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
Pole: origin in rectangular coordinates Polar axis: positive x-axis in rectangular coordinates Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
In the polar coordinate system, the polar coordinates are (r,θ). If r>0, r is the distance from the point to the pole. θ is the angle formed by the polar axis and a ray from the pole through the point. If r<0, the point is on the ray from the pole extending in the opposite direction. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
