WEBThe basic rectangular equations of the form \(x=h\) and \(y=k\) create vertical and horizontal lines, respectively; the basic polar equations \(r= h\) and \(\theta =\alpha\) create circles and lines through the pole, respectively.
Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia
WEBThe equation defining a plane curve expressed in polar coordinates is known as a polar equation. In many cases, such an equation can simply be specified by defining r as a function of φ. The resulting curve then consists of points of the form (r(φ), φ) and can be regarded as the graph of the polar function r.
