Question
### Problem Statement:
Determine the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle given by the equation \(r \csc(\theta) = -4\). Convert the polar equation to a rectangular equation if necessary.

(Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed. Give your answer as a comma-separated list of a point's coordinates in the form \((\ast, \ast)\))

---

**Solution:**

#### The coordinates of the center:
\[
(0, -2)
\]

#### Radius:
\[
2
\]

#### The excluded points:
\[
+ k\pi \text{ for some integer } k
\]

---

### Explanation:

1. **Polar to Rectangular Conversion:**
   - The given equation is in polar form: \( r \csc(\theta) = -4 \).
   - We can rewrite \( \csc(\theta) \) as \( \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} \), therefore, the equation becomes: 
     \[
     r \cdot \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = -4
     \]
     \[
     r = -4 \sin(\theta)
     \]
   
2. **Identify Coordinates and Radius:**
   - In polar form, \( r \) represents the distance from a point to the origin and \( \theta \) represents the angle from the positive x-axis.
   - To find the center and radius of this circle, recognize that this equation describes a circle with its center shifted.

3. **Rectangular Coordinates:**
   - Converting the polar coordinates to rectangular, use \( x = r \cos(\theta) \) and \( y = r \sin(\theta) \).
   - Substituting \( r = -4 \sin(\theta) \):
     \[
     x = -4 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta)
     \]
     \[
     y = -4 \sin^2(\theta)
     \]
   - Use the equation of the circle in rectangular form \( (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = R^2 \) to identify the center (\(h, k\)) and radius \(R\).

4. **Excluded Points:**
   - The sine function is zero whenever \( \theta = k \pi \) for any integer \( k \). Therefore, points where \( \theta \) is an
