Further question on an existing question about: The Newtonian Central Force System

Still on the question: Understanding shift to polar coordinates in the newtonian central force system of ODE's

The book states that $\dfrac{X}{|X|^{3}} = -\dfrac{1}{r^{2}} (\text{cos}(\theta),\text{sin}(\theta))$

why?
