Homework Statement


Write the polar equation for the graph y = x.


Homework Equations


[tex]x = r cos \theta[/tex]
[tex]y = r sin \theta[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I came up with [tex]\theta = \pi/4[/tex] because at [tex]\pi/4[/tex], the x and y coordinates match each other. I'm not sure this is correct, though.
