To find:

We need to find the type of the graph of the given polar equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is of the form


r=a-b\sin (\theta)

where a=3 and b=-3.

This equation is the general equation of the limacon.

Hence the given equatLimaconLimaconlimacon.

The graph of the equation:

Final answer:
