r=5costhetar=5cosθ

Explanation:

"to convert from "color(blue)"cartesian to polar form"to convert from cartesian to polar form

•color(white)(x)x=rcostheta" and "y=rsinthetaxx=rcosθ and y=rsinθ

•color(white)(x)r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)rArrr^2=x^2+y^2xr=x2+y2r2=x2+y2

r^2=5rcosthetarArrr=5costhetar2=5rcosθr=5cosθ
