#y^4=x^2+y^2#

The relation between polar coordinates #(r,theta)# and Cartesian coordinates #(x,y)# is given by #x=rcostheta#, #y=rsintheta# and #r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)#.

Hence, #r=csc^2theta#

#hArry/sintheta=csc^2theta#

or #y=sintheta×csc^2theta#

or #y=1/sintheta=r/y#

or #y^2=r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)#

or #y^4=x^2+y^2#
