### Understanding Polar Coordinates and Representations

#### Problem Statement:
Suppose a point has polar coordinates \( \left( -2, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \), with the angle measured in radians.

Find two additional polar representations of the point. Write each coordinate in the simplest form with the angle in the interval \([-2\pi, 2\pi]\).

#### Explanation:

Polar coordinates are a pair of values \((r, \theta)\) where:
- \(r\) is the radial distance from the origin.
- \(\theta\) is the angular displacement from the positive x-axis, measured in radians.

Given Coordinates: \( \left( -2, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \)

To find additional representations, consider:
1. Adjusting the angle \(\theta\) by adding or subtracting \(2\pi\) to produce equivalent positions on the polar plane.
2. Changing the sign of \(r\) and adjusting the angle \(\theta\) by \(\pi\).

#### Visual Representation:
The image consists of a polar coordinate representation where:
- Two circles represent possible locations on the plane.
- Controls for converting and adjusting these coordinates.

#### Solutions Approach:
1. **First Representation:**
   Adjust the angle while maintaining the radius:
   - Original: \( \left( -2, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \)
   - Adding \(2\pi\) to the angle: \(\frac{3\pi}{2} + 2\pi = \frac{7\pi}{2}\)
   - Since \(\frac{7\pi}{2}\) exceeds \(2\pi\), convert to an equivalent angle within the given range.

   Simplification: \(\frac{7\pi}{2} - 2\pi = \frac{3\pi}{2} + \frac{4\pi}{2}\)
   - New Coordinates: \( \left( -2, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \)

2. **Second Representation:**
   Change the sign of \(r\) and add \(\pi\) to the angle:
   - Original: \( \left( -2, \frac{3\pi}{2} \right) \)
   - Adjusted: \( \left( 2, \
