Answer

$(2, \frac{2\pi}{3}) (-2, \frac{5\pi}{3})$ See graph below.

Work Step by Step

Given $(-2, -\frac{\pi}{3})$ $\frac{-\pi}{3}$ is in the fourth quadrant but since r = -2, then the point will be plotted for the angle + $\pi$, thus at $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ with a radius of 1 See the graph below. For different polar coordinates, it can be accomplished by the following: $(−r,θ+π)=(2,-\frac{\pi}{3}+π)=(2, \frac{2\pi}{3})$ or $(r,θ+2π)=(-2,-\frac{\pi}{3}+ 2π)=(-2, \frac{5\pi}{3})$
