How do you find polar coordinates?

To convert from Cartesian Coordinates (x,y) to Polar Coordinates (r,θ):

1. r = √ ( x² + y² )
2. θ = tan^-1 ( y / x )

How do you convert rectangular equation to polar form?

To change a rectangular equation to a polar equation just replace x with r cos θ and y with r sin θ .
