If spherical coords are r and theta, then
x = r*cos(theta)
and
y = r*sin(theta)
Conversely,
r = sqrt(x2 + y2)
and
theta = arctan(y/x) provided x is not zero.
and
theta = 90 deg when x = 0

To locate a point on a plane you need two coordinates. You can't guess the second coordinate based on the first one - or vice versa. The other number can be anything.
refers to the opposite
For each coordinate point (x, y), the x-value becomes its opposite. Were it positive, it becomes negative, and vice versa. The y-value remains the same. In other words, each point (x, y) becomes (-x, y).
