A point is graphed in rectangular form. Find polar coordinates for the point, with r > 0 and 0 ≤ 𝜃 < 2𝜋.
(r, 𝜃) = 

    


To find the polar coordinates \((r, \theta)\) of a point in rectangular form, we use the following formulas:

1. \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \) (distance from the origin).
2. \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \) (angle with the positive x-axis, adjusted for quadrant).

Let me know the coordinates of the point in rectangular form (e.g., \((x, y)\)), and I can calculate the polar coordinates for you.
