Question:
Convert the rectangular equation to polar form. Assume {eq}a < 0 {/eq}.
{eq}x^2 + y^2 - 8y = 0 {/eq}
Coordinate Systems:
The coordinate system tells which would be the corresponding components in the expression of a vector or a point in a certain space. For rectangular coordinate systems, we can express a vector or a point in terms of the x- and y-components.
