D) $( 0 , - 3 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given point is in polar coordinates $(-3, 0^\circ)$, where -3 is the radius (r) and $0^\circ$ is the angle ($\theta$). In rectangular coordinates (x, y), this translates to $x = r\cos(\theta)$ and $y = r\sin(\theta)$. Plugging in the values, we get $x = -3\cos(0^\circ) = -3$ and $y = -3\sin(0^\circ) = 0$, making the rectangular coordinates $(-3, 0)$.
