Olive plots (4,−3π/2)on the polar plane.
How does she proceed?
Drag a phrase to each box to correctly complete the statements.
Olive first determines which line the angle of rotation places the point on. This line tells Olive that the point must lie on the ___ if r is positive or ___ if r is negative.
The radius of 4 tells Olive that the point lies on the fourth circle of the polar plane. The value of r is positive. Therefore, the point will lie on the ____.
Choices- positive x axis, negative x axis, positive y axis, negative y axis
Would the second blank be postive y axis and the last one negative y axis?^^
move away from the origin in the direction of the angle if r is positive. In this case, that would be downward, right?
Yes ^^ Would the first blank be positive x axis?
NO! Downward is along the negative y-axis !
What about the other two blank?^^ Would the last me be positive x axis?
you're dealing with up and down! get away from the x-axis!
