9.4 POLAR FORM OF A LINEAR EQUATIONBy the end of the section students will be able to write the polar form of a linear equation, and write the linear form of a polar equation as evidenced by an exit slip.

Recall• NORMAL form of a linear equation

• Standard form

• Normal form with NO fractions or negative x coefficient

• To convert from standard to normal, divide by , choosing the sign OPPOSITE to C.
