Plot this on the Cartesian Graph:


Determine the abcissa for (-6,4)

Abcissa = absolute value of x-value
Perpendicular distance to the y-axis
Abcissa = |-6| = 6

Determine the ordinate for (-6,4)

Ordinate = absolute value of y-value
Perpendicular distance to the x-axis
Ordinate = |4| = 4

Evaluate the ordered pair (-6,4)

We start at the coordinates (0,0)
Since our x coordinate of -6 is negative
We move down on the graph 6 space(s)
Since our y coordinate of 4 is positive
We move right on the graph 4 space(s)

Determine the quadrant for (-6,4)

Since -6<0 and 4>0
(-6,4) is in Quadrant II

Convert the point (-6,4°) from
polar to Cartesian

The formula for this is below:

Polar Coordinates are (r,θ)
Cartesian Coordinates are (x,y)
Polar to Cartesian Transformation is
(r,θ) → (x,y) = (rcosθ,rsinθ)
(r,θ) = (-6,4°)
(rcosθ,rsinθ) = (-6cos(4),-6sin(4))
(rcosθ,rsinθ) = (-6(0.99756405026539),-6(0.069756473664546))
(rcosθ,rsinθ) = (-5.9854,-0.4185)
(-6,4°) = (-5.9854,-0.4185)

Determine the quadrant for (-5.9854,-0.4185)

Since -5.9854<0 and -0.4185<0
(-5.9854,-0.4185) is in Quadrant III

Convert (-6,4) to polar

Cartesian Coordinates are denoted as (x,y)
Polar Coordinates are denoted as (r,θ)
(x,y) = (-6,4)

Transform r:

r = ±√x2 + y2
r = ±√-62 + 42
r = ±√36 + 16
r = ±√52
r = ±7.211102550928

Transform θ

θ = tan-1(y/x)
θ = tan-1(4/-6)
θ = tan-1(-0.66666666666667)
θradians = -0.58800260354757

Convert our angle to degrees

Angle in Degrees  =  Angle in Radians * 180
  π

θdegrees  =  -0.58800260354757 * 180
  π

θdegrees  =  -105.84046863856
  π

θdegrees = -33.69°
Therefore, (-6,4) = (7.211102550928,-33.69°)

Determine the quadrant for (-6,4)

Since -6<0 and 4>0
(-6,4) is in Quadrant II

Show equivalent coordinates

We add 360°
(-6,4° + 360°)
(-6,364°)

(-6,4° + 360°)
(-6,724°)

(-6,4° + 360°)
(-6,1084°)

Method 2: -(r) + 180°

(-1 * -6,4° + 180°)
(6,184°)

Method 3: -(r) - 180°

(-1 * -6,4° - 180°)
(6,-176°)

Determine symmetric point

If (x,y) is symmetric to the origin:
then the point (-x,-y) is also on the graph
(6, -4)

Determine symmetric point

If (x,y) is symmetric to the x-axis:
then the point (x, -y) is also on the graph
(-6, -4)

Determine symmetric point

If (x,y) is symmetric to the y-axis:
then the point (-x, y) is also on the graph
(6, 4)

Take (-6, 4) and rotate 90 degrees
We call this R90°

The formula for rotating a point 90° is:
R90°(x, y) = (-y, x)
R90°(-6, 4) = (-(4), -6)
R90°(-6, 4) = (-4, -6)

Take (-6, 4) and rotate 180 degrees
We call this R180°

The formula for rotating a point 180° is:
R180°(x, y) = (-x, -y)
R180°(-6, 4) = (-(-6), -(4))
R180°(-6, 4) = (6, -4)

Take (-6, 4) and rotate 270 degrees
We call this R270°

The formula for rotating a point 270° is:
R270°(x, y) = (y, -x)
R270°(-6, 4) = (4, -(-6))
R270°(-6, 4) = (4, 6)

Take (-6, 4) and reflect over the origin
We call this rorigin

Formula for reflecting over the origin is:
rorigin(x, y) = (-x, -y)
rorigin(-6, 4) = (-(-6), -(4))
rorigin(-6, 4) = (6, -4)

Take (-6, 4) and reflect over the y-axis
We call this ry-axis

Formula for reflecting over the y-axis is:
ry-axis(x, y) = (-x, y)
ry-axis(-6, 4) = (-(-6), 4)
ry-axis(-6, 4) = (6, 4)

Take (-6, 4) and reflect over the x-axis
We call this rx-axis

Formula for reflecting over the x-axis is:
rx-axis(x, y) = (x, -y)
rx-axis(-6, 4) = (-6, -(4))
rx-axis(-6, 4) = (-6, -4)
