### Coordinate Conversion Problems

Below are a set of problems related to converting between rectangular and polar coordinates. 

#### Problem 9
Convert the following rectangular point to polar form: \((-2, 2\sqrt{3})\).

Solution:
Rectangular coordinates \((x, y)\) can be converted to polar coordinates \((r, \theta)\) using the following formulas:
- \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \)
- \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \)

#### Problem 10
Convert the following polar point to rectangular form: \((-2, -\frac{7\pi}{6})\).

Solution:
Polar coordinates \((r, \theta)\) can be converted to rectangular coordinates \((x, y)\) using the following formulas:
- \( x = r \cos(\theta) \)
- \( y = r \sin(\theta) \)

These exercises help in understanding the relationship between rectangular (Cartesian) coordinates and polar coordinates, which are commonly used in fields such as physics, engineering, and navigation.
