Table for making the graph of the spiral, with unit of #theta# as
#(180/pi)^o=57.3^o#, nearly:
#(r, theta): (0, .0) (4, -1) (8, -2) (12, -3) (16, -4) (20, -5) ...#

Explanation:

Here, #r=-4 theta >= 0# So, #theta<= 0#.

Let us keep the sense of rotation, for #theta in (0, -oo)#

Table for making the graph of the spiral, with #theta# in radian = #

(180/pi)^o=57.3^o#, nearly:

(r theta): (0, .0) (4, -1) (8, -2) (12, -3) (16, -4) (20, -5) ...#
