How do you convert #x/y=8-x# into polar form? Trigonometry The Polar System Converting Between Systems 1 Answer Cesareo R. May 13, 2016 #r + (cot(theta)-8)sec(theta)=0# Explanation: The pass equations #x = r cos(theta), y = r sin(theta)# substituted into the cartesian equation gives: #(r cos(theta))/(r sin(theta)) = 8 - r cos(theta)#. Simplifiying and solving for #r# #r + (cot(theta)-8)sec(theta)=0# Answer link Related questions How do you convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?
