r(-sinthetatantheta-rsinthetacostheta+4sintheta+5costheta)=15r(sinθtanθrsinθcosθ+4sinθ+5cosθ)=15

Explanation:

First, we expand everything to get:
y=y^2/x+xy-3y-5y+15y=y2x+xy3y5y+15

Now we need to use these:
x=rcosthetax=rcosθ
y=rsinthetay=rsinθ

rsintheta=(r^2sin^2theta)/(rcostheta)+rcosthetarsintheta-3rsintheta-5rcostheta+15rsinθ=r2sin2θrcosθ+rcosθrsinθ3rsinθ5rcosθ+15

rsintheta=rsinthetatantheta+r^2sinthetacostheta-3rsintheta-5rcostheta+15rsinθ=rsinθtanθ+r2sinθcosθ3rsinθ5rcosθ+15

rsintheta-rsinthetatantheta-r^2sinthetacostheta+3rsintheta+5rcostheta=15rsinθrsinθtanθr2sinθcosθ+3rsinθ+5rcosθ=15

r(-sinthetatantheta-rsinthetacostheta+4sintheta+5costheta)=15r(sinθtanθrsinθcosθ+4sinθ+5cosθ)=15

We cannot simplify this any further, so it stays as an implicit polar equation.
