How do I convert y=x to polar form?

so far I have:

rsin(theta)=rcos(theta)

sin(theta)=cos(theta)

do i just end there?

what do i do since the r cancelled out?

  • you have over science this problem. y=x is a line at a 45 degree angle. to write that in polar form in radians is theta = pi/4, the radius r= x (sqrt 2).
