You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-r cot theta = csc theta need rectangle form
------
Conversion formulas::
r = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
theta = arctan(y/x)
---------------------------
Your Problem::
csc(theta) = r/y
cot(theta) = y/x
------
Substitute for "r" cot(theta) and csc(theta) to get:
-r*(y/x) = r/y
----
(y/x) = 1/y
===
y^2 = x
y = sqrt(x)
