Question

Convert the rectangular equation to a polar equation y=5

Answer 1

The rectangular equation is composed of variables like x and y which can be graphed on a regular Cartesian plane.

In our case, the coordinate is (0, 5) as:

`\begin{gathered} y=0* x+5 \\ y=5 \end{gathered}`

Polar equations are used to create interesting curves, and in most cases, they are periodic like sine waves. Usually, they can have the forms:

`x=r\cos\Theta`
`y=r\sin(\Theta)`
`\tan\Theta=(y)/(x)`

Then, in our case r = 1 and θ = 90º. Thus, the equation is:

`y=\sin(90\degree)`
