Answer

(a) See the graph. (b) $(12,\frac{5\pi}{4})$ (c) $(-12,\frac{\pi}{4})$

Work Step by Step

(a) $x\lt0$ and $y\lt0$. The point lies in Quadrant III. $r^2=x^2+y^2$ $r^2=(-6\sqrt 2)^2+(-6\sqrt 2)^2=144$ $r=±12$ (b) $r=12$ $tan~θ=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-6\sqrt 2}{-6\sqrt 2}=1$ $θ=\frac{5\pi}{4}$ (c) $r=-12$ $tan~θ=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-6\sqrt 2}{-6\sqrt 2}=1$ $θ=\frac{5\pi}{4}-\pi=\frac{\pi}{4}$
