Section 9.6 : Polar Coordinates

10. Sketch the graph of the following polar equation.

\[\theta = - \frac{\pi }{3}\] Show Solution

We know from the notes on this section that this is simply the line that goes through the origin and has slope of \(\tan \left( { - \frac{\pi }{3}} \right) = - \sqrt 3 \).

So here is the graph of this function.
