x^2+y^2-sqrt11y=0x2+y211y=0

Explanation:

To convert r*cscθ=sqrt11 into rectangular form (x,y), we should use the relation between (x,y) and (r,theta), which are

r^2=x^2+y^2 and rcostheta=x and rsintheta=y
Note that csctheta=1/sintheta=r/y.

Hence r*cscθ=sqrt11 can be written as

r*r/y=sqrt11 or r^2=sqrt11*y

x^2+y^2-sqrt11y=0
