We then transformed the polar equation (r = \\tan(\\theta) \\sec(\\theta)) into rectangular form, yielding (x^2 = y). Finally, the equation (2x^2 + 3y^2 = 6x) was converted into polar coordinates as (r = \\frac{6 \\cos(\\theta)}{2\\cos^2(\\theta) + 3\\sin^2(\\theta)}). These conversions illustrate the relationship between the rectangular and polar systems, making it easier to analyze geometric properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert (3, -1) from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates.
