Work Step by Step

The question ONLY asks for a graph of the polar equation. Given $r = -\cos 5θ$ Table of Values: $(-1, 0)$ $(-1/2, \frac{\pi}{15})$ $(0, \frac{\pi}{10})$ $(1/2, \frac{2\pi}{15})$ $(1, \frac{\pi}{5})$ $(1/2, \frac{4\pi}{15})$ $(0, \frac{3\pi}{10})$ $(-1/2, \frac{5\pi}{15})$ See graph below. It is in the shape of a flower/rose.
