x^2+y^2=6tan^(-1)(y/x)+(xy)/(x^2+y^2)+2

Explanation:

A Cartesian point (x,y) in polar form is (r,theta), where

x=rcostheta and y=rsintheta and hence

x^2+y^2=r^2cos^2theta+r^2sin^2theta=r^2 and theta=tan^(-1)(y/x)

Hence -2+r^2=-6theta+sinthetacostheta is

-2+x^2+y^2=6tan^(-1)(y/x)+(xy)/(x^2+y^2)

or x^2+y^2=6tan^(-1)(y/x)+(xy)/(x^2+y^2)+2
