r=sec theta( (3tan theta+1)/(3-6tan theta))r=secθ(3tanθ+136tanθ). The graph of the given hyperbola is inserted.

Explanation:

The conversion formula is

(x, y)=r(cos theta, sin theta)(x,y)=r(cosθ,sinθ),

Rearranging, the given equation becomes

x= r cos theta)=(3y-x)?(3x-6y)x=rcosθ)=(3yx)?(3x6y)

=(3 sin theta - cos theta)/(3cos theta-6 sin theta)=3sinθcosθ3cosθ6sinθ

=(3 tan theta+1)(3-6 tan theta)=(3tanθ+1)(36tanθ), So, explicitly,

r=sec theta( (3tan theta+1)/(3-6tan theta))r=secθ(3tanθ+136tanθ)
