Answer: Choice D. (-2.5, 3pi/2)

One way to write this polar coordinate is to say (2.5, pi/2) meaning we move 2.5 units away from the origin toward the pi/2 direction

pi/2 radians = 90 degrees

An alternative is to write (-2.5, 3pi/2) which is where we aim at the 3pi/2 direction (270 degrees) and walk backward while still facing directly south, and we'll arrive at the same location.
