Using the conversion formulas that convert polar to rectangular, we have


(since we're dealing with sine) and



Now square both sides of the second formula


------------------ Now let's manipulate :


Multiply both sides by r


Replace with . Remember,



Replace with . Remember,



So the polar equation converts to So the answer is A)
