Determine if the given polar coordinates represent the same point.
-( 10, $\pi$/6), ( 10, 7$\pi$/6)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In polar coordinates, the first number represents the radius (distance from the origin) and the second number represents the angle from the positive x-axis. Although both points have the same radius (10), their angles ($\pi/6$ and $7\pi/6$) point in different directions, thus representing different points in the plane.
