Plotting Polar Coordinates
The applet below illustrates how to plot points whose coordinates are written in POLAR FORM.
You can adjust the values of r and theta by using the sliders or the input boxes.
(This grapher will only accept theta values ranging from -2pi to 2pi).
Slide the black slider to illustrate how polar coordinates are plotted.
Interact with this applet for a few minutes, then answer the questions that follow.
Plot the following points using the calculator above: (3, pi/2) and (-3, 3pi/2). What do you notice?
Can you come up with a different set of polar coordinates for the location given in the first question? If so, list it/them!
