  perceptive question and good suggestion; also, /or, standard polar description => Cartesian point on a circle of radius 7 and rotation of +(2π/3)=120°, &
  r=hypotenuse=7, & x²+y²=r², =>
   |x|= 7×(1/2), & |y|= 7×(²√(3)/2), =>
   x= - (7/2), & y= + 7(²√3)/2 , ie, (x₀,y₀) = ( - (7/2), + 7(²√3)/2 )
