Step 1 
The polar coordinates of (x, y)=(0, 1) is 
(r, θ)=(1, π2) 
Since r represents how far a point is from the origin
r=02+12 
Given that θ is the angle between the positive x-axis and the section of the coordinate system that links the origin to the location,
θ=π2 
(Note: (0, 1) is on the positive y-axis, which makes 90 from the positive x-axis.)
