Question
Find a rectangular equation that has the same graph as the given polar equation.$2 r=\tan \theta$
Step 1
We know that $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ and $\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}$ in rectangular coordinates. So, we substitute these into the given equation to get $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \frac{y}{2x}$. Show more…
