=>x=0and y= -4x=0andy=4

Explanation:

If Cartesian or rectangular coordinate of a point be (x,y)
and its polar polar coordinate be (r,theta)(r,θ)

then x=rcostheta and y= rsinthetax=rcosθandy=rsinθ
here r=4 and theta =-pi/2r=4andθ=π2
:.
x=4cos(-pi/2) and y= 4sin(-pi/2)
=>x=4*0and y= -4*1
=>x=0and y= -4
