Question 75902: I am trying to find out hwo to work a problem like this one:
Find the polar equation for the curve that satisfies the rectangular equation
4x + 3y = 5
Answer by kev82(151) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equations linking 2d-polar and 2d-cartesian are (learn these!)

and

Substituting these into your equation of a line gives:

polar equations are normally written as

so by factoring an

and dividing, you should get:

Of course, this isn't valid when

you should think about when this happens, and what it means.
Hope that helps,
