• Demonstrate the ability to convert a line from polar form to rectangular form
• Demonstrate the ability to graph a line on the polar coordinate plane
Polar Form of a Line Practice Test:

#1:

Instructions: Convert to polar form, then graph on the polar grid.

$$a)\hspace{.1em}y=x$$

$$b)\hspace{.1em}y=\frac{x\sqrt{3}}{3}$$

#2:

Instructions: Graph on the polar grid, then convert to rectangular form.

$$a)\hspace{.1em}r=-2\hspace{.1em}\text{csc}\left(θ + \frac{π}{4}\right)$$

$$b)\hspace{.1em}r=2\hspace{.1em}\text{csc}\left(θ + \frac{π}{6}\right)$$

#3:

Instructions: Convert to rectangular form.

$$a)\hspace{.1em}r=\text{sec}\left(θ + \frac{π}{6}\right)$$

$$b)\hspace{.1em}r=4 \hspace{.1em}\text{sec}\left(θ + 45°\right)$$

#4:

Instructions: Convert to rectangular form.

$$a)\hspace{.1em}r=3 \hspace{.1em}\text{sec}(θ + 60°)$$

$$b)\hspace{.1em}r=3 \hspace{.1em}\text{sec}\hspace{.1em}θ$$

#5:

Instructions: Convert to rectangular form.

$$a)\hspace{.1em}r=4 \hspace{.1em}\text{csc}\hspace{.1em}θ$$

$$b)\hspace{.1em}r=\text{sec}(θ + 45°)$$

Written Solutions:
