Start by understanding the relationship between Cartesian coordinates (x, y) and polar coordinates (r, θ). The conversion formulas are: x = r * cos(θ) and y = r * sin(θ).
Given the equation y - x = 6, substitute the polar coordinate expressions for x and y: r * sin(θ) - r * cos(θ) = 6.
Factor out r from the left side of the equation: r * (sin(θ) - cos(θ)) = 6.
To solve for r, divide both sides of the equation by (sin(θ) - cos(θ)): r = 6 / (sin(θ) - cos(θ)).
This is the polar form of the given equation, where r is expressed in terms of θ.
