$(0, - 2)$ $(0,-2)$

Explanation:

Whereas Cartesian coordinates follow the form $(x, y)$ $(x,y)$ , polar coordinates follow the form $(r, θ)$ $(r,theta)$ , where $r$ $r$ is the radius and $θ$ $theta$ is the angle. To convert from polar to Cartesian form given both $r$ $r$ and $θ$ $theta$ , use $x = r cos (θ)$ $x=rcos(theta)$ and $y = r sin (θ)$ $y=rsin(theta)$ .

$x = r cos (θ)$ $x=rcos(theta)$
$x = 2 cos (\frac{15 π}{2})$ $x=2cos((15pi)/2)$
$x = 0$ $x=0$

$y = r sin (θ)$ $y=rsin(theta)$
$y = 2 sin (\frac{15 π}{2})$ $y=2sin((15pi)/2)$
$y = - 2$ $y=-2$

Thus, the Cartesian form of $(2, \frac{15 π}{2})$ $(2, (15pi)/2)$ is $(0, - 2)$ $(0,-2)$ .
