Draw the straight line parallel to the compounded initial line theta= 0 and theta = pi, at a distance 3. in the direction theta = 3/2pi.

Explanation:

This is the polar form for y = -3

Here, r = 3sec(theta+ 90^o)=3(-csc theta)=-3/sin theta

So, y = r sin theta = -3

Draw the straight line parallel to the compounded initial line theta= 0 and theta = pi, at a distance 3. in the

direction theta = 3/2pi.
