Complex numbers can be represented by points in the plane. Let the horizontal axis be the real axis and the vertical axis be the imaginary axis. The complex number i is located at (0,1) and has polar coordinates (r, θ) =(1, π/2). Plot the complex number−2−2i and then find the polar coordinates of the point.
