To analyze: The graph given by the polar equation
The equation represents a straight line passing through the origin. Slope of the line is
Given information:
The given polar equation is
Calculation:
Plot the graph for the polar equation.
Figure (1)
From the figure (1), it can be observed that the equation represents a straight line passing through the origin making an angle of
The equation is defined for all real numbers of
The line is continuous.
The line is symmetric about the origin as it passes through the origin.
Since
No maximum value for
There are no asymptotes to the graph.
Therefore, the polar equation
