### Plotting Polar Coordinates and Finding Rectangular Coordinates

#### Problem Statement:
The polar coordinates of a point are given. Plot the point.

\[
\left( 6, \frac{5\pi}{4} \right)
\]

Four separate coordinate grids are displayed, each with different points marked on them. You are required to determine which graph correctly represents the given polar coordinates.

#### Detailed Explanation of Polar Coordinates:
Polar coordinates are represented in the form \((r, \theta)\) where:
- \(r\) is the radius - the distance from the origin (0,0).
- \(\theta\) is the angle, measured in radians, from the positive x-axis.

For the coordinates \(\left( 6, \frac{5\pi}{4} \right)\):
- The radius \(r\) is 6.
- The angle \(\theta\) is \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\).

Based on the angle, \(\frac{5\pi}{4}\) is in the third quadrant because it is equivalent to \(225^\circ\), which is more than \(180^\circ\) and less than \(270^\circ\).

#### Graph Descriptions:
1. **Top left graph**:
   - Displays a point in the first quadrant.
2. **Top right graph**:
   - Displays a point in the second quadrant.
3. **Bottom left graph**:
   - Displays a point in the fourth quadrant at coordinates (6, -6).
4. **Bottom right graph**:
   - Displays a point in the third quadrant approximately at (-4.2, -4.2).

The correct graph representing the given polar coordinates is the **bottom right** one.

#### Finding Rectangular Coordinates:
To convert polar coordinates \(\left( 6, \frac{5\pi}{4} \right)\) to rectangular coordinates (x, y), we use the formulae:
\[ x = r \cos(\theta) \]
\[ y = r \sin(\theta) \]

For the given coordinates:
\[ x = 6 \cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{4}\right) \]
\[ y = 6 \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{4}\right) \]

Knowing that:
\[
\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{4}\right) = -\frac{\sqrt
