Answer:

b.
4x^2+3y^2-24y-144=0

Explanation:

The given equation is;


r=(-72)/(12+6\sin(\theta))

Cross multiply;


r(12+6\sin(\theta)=-72

Expand;


12r+6r\sin(\theta)=-72

Divide through by 6;


2r+r\sin(\theta)=-12


2r=-12-r\sin(\theta)

Substitute;


y=r\sin(\theta), r=√(x^2+y^2)


2√(x^2+y^2)=-12-y

Square both sides;


(2√(x^2+y^2))^2=(-12-y)^2


4(x^2+y^2)=144+24y+y^2


4x^2+4y^2=144+24y+y^2

Simplify;


4x^2+3y^2-24y-144=0
