Question
### Plot the point given in polar coordinates.
\[
\left( -5, -\frac{\pi}{3} \right)
\]

### Select the graph that represents the point \(\left( -5, -\frac{\pi}{3} \right)\).

**Options:**

#### A
- A graph with the point plotted in the third quadrant. The angle is drawn negatively, and the radius extends in the opposite direction to place the point in the correct position.

#### B
- A graph where the angle and the radius point suggest incorrect quadrant placement.

#### C
- A graph with the point plotted incorrectly in the first quadrant.

#### D
- The point is plotted in the third quadrant, consistent with a negative radius and angle.

### Explanation:
- **Polar Coordinates:** In polar coordinates, a point is represented by \( (r, \theta) \), where \( r \) is the radius (distance from the origin) and \( \theta \) is the angle from the positive x-axis.
- **Negative Radius:** A negative radius means the direction is reversed. The angle \( -\frac{\pi}{3} \) indicates a clockwise rotation equivalent to \( \frac{4\pi}{3} \).

To correctly plot the point \( \left( -5, -\frac{\pi}{3} \right) \):
1. Rotate \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) clockwise.
2. Extend the radius in the opposite direction due to the negative value.
3. The point should lie in the third quadrant.
