The polar coordinate is [tex](5\sqrt{2},\frac{-\pi }{4} )[/tex].
What is polar coordinate system?
The polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.
How to convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?
To convert rectangular coordinate (x, y) to polar coordinate(r, θ) by using some formula
tanθ = y/x and [tex]r =\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }[/tex]
According to the given question
We have
A rectangular coordinate (5, -5).
⇒ x = 5 and y = -5
Therefore,
[tex]r=\sqrt{(5)^{2} +(-5)^{2} } =\sqrt{25+25} =\sqrt{50} =5\sqrt{2}[/tex]
and
tanθ = [tex]\frac{-5}{5} =-1[/tex]
⇒ θ = [tex]tan^{-1} (-1)[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex]
Therefore, the polar coordinate is [tex](5\sqrt{2},\frac{-\pi }{4} )[/tex].
