Expert-verifiedIn Problems 13–28, transform each polar equation to an equation in rectangular coordinates. Then identify and graph the equation. Verify your graph using a graphing utility.
The equation in regular coordinates is
The equation is of a line passing through the pole making an angle of with polar axis and the graph of the equation is
The graph is the same as the graph we get in graphing utility.
The given polar equation is
We have to transform each polar equation to an equation in rectangular coordinates then identify and graph the equation then verified the graph by using a graphing utility.
To transform the equation to rectangular coordinates, take the tangent on both sides
The graph of is a line passing through the pole making an angle of with the polar axis.
The graph of the equation is
The graph of the equation by the graphing utility is
Hence it is verified that the graph is the same.
