B) $\left( - \frac { 3 } { 2 } , \frac { - 3 \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } \right)$
C) $\left( \frac { 3 } { 2 } , \frac { 3 \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } \right)$
D) $\left( - \frac { 3 } { 2 } , \frac { 3 \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } \right)$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the point is in the second quadrant, so the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.
