Use the following relationships:
Now substitute into given equation:
Notice we can solve for sin(theta)
Thus equation becomes
Multiply by sqrt(x^2 + y^2) on both sides
Add 2y to both sides
Use completing the square to obtain standard circle equation
Therefore polar equation is converted to rectangular form and is the graph of a circle of radius 1 centered at (0,-1).
