just plug in your transformations
x = r cosθ
y = r sinθ
Convert the polar coordinates (-83,23°) into rectangular coordinates. Round the trigonometric values and the rectangular coordinates to the nearest hundredth.

-83[23o] = -83*Cos23 + (-83*sin23)i = -76.40 - 32.43i.
Thanks Oobleck and Henry2 I got it now!
actually, you don't need the "i" stuff unless you want to represent the point as a complex number.
the polar point (-83,23°) is the x-y point (-76.40, - 32.43)
the polar point (-83,23°) is the x-y point (-76.40, - 32.43)
