Answer

(a) See the graph. (b) $(2\sqrt 3,\frac{5\pi}{6})$ (c) $(-2\sqrt 3,-\frac{\pi}{6})$

Work Step by Step

(a) $x\lt0$ and $y\gt0$. The point lies in Quadrant II. $r^2=x^2+y^2$ $r^2=(-3)^2+(\sqrt 3)^2=12$ $r=±2\sqrt 3$ (b) $r=2\sqrt 3$ $tan~θ=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{-3}=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3}$ $θ=\frac{5\pi}{6}$ (c) $r=-2\sqrt 3$ $tan~θ=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{-3}=-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3}$ $θ=\frac{5\pi}{6}-\pi=-\frac{\pi}{6}$
