#r = 0# and
#r = ( 2 cos theta + 3 sin theta)/(2 cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta ) #.
This hyperbola passes through the pole #( O ), r = 0#.

Conversion formula:

#( x. y ) = r ( cos theta, sin theta ), r = sqrt (x^2 + y^2) >= 0#

#2x^2 - y^2- 2x - 3y = 0# converts to

#r = 0# and

#r(2 cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta ) - ( 2 cos theta + 3 sin theta)) = 0#.

This hyperbola passes through the pole #( O ), r = 0#.

See graph.
