Question

How do you graph `theta=pi/6`?

Answer 1

It depends on whether you allow negative values for r.

If you allow negative values for r, then the graph is a line that passes through the origin and the polar point `(1,pi/6)`.

If you do not allow negative values for r, then the graph is a ray that starts at the origin and passes through the polar point `(1,pi/6)`.

Both the origin and the point `(1,pi/6)` are easily plotted on polar graph paper.

If you do not have polar graph paper you can plot the line:

`y = tan(pi/6)x`
