Question
7/10
what happens when you have a negative radius in polar coordinates?
move to the left
rotate clockwise
move to the right
rotate counterclockwise
Brief Explanations
In polar coordinates, a negative radius means you plot the point by first facing the given angle, then moving in the opposite direction (equivalent to rotating 180 degrees counterclockwise from the original angle, or adding $\pi$ radians to the angle value). Among the options, this aligns with rotating counterclockwise by 180 degrees to point in the reverse direction.
