I presume the linear equation will have a strange polar representation.
From 5x = 5y we obtain x = y and . We wish to isolate r.

Moving all terms to one side we get --> and . What's interesting about this graph is that when (), we get an indeterminate form and r can equal anything. can theoretically be equal to any number, which is why it is considered indeterminate instead of undefined.
