Well we can easily convert this polar equation in Cartesian coordinate equation. p = 1 − cos θ + sin θ 1 p − p cos θ + p sin θ = 1 Now convert into Cartesian coordinates by using the formulas:- p = x 2 + y 2 p sin θ = y p cos θ = x Hence we get the equation of curve as:- x 2 + y 2 − x + y = 1 x 2 + y 2 = 1 + x − y Squaring both sides:- x 2 + y 2 = 1 + x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 2 y − 2 x y 2 x y + 2 y − 2 x = 1 ( x + 1 ) ( y − 1 ) = 2 − 1 This is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola.
