The polar equation is $\"\"$ .

Rewrite the equation.

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ . \ \

The general form is $\"\"$ .

where $\"\"$ is eccentricity and $\"\"$ is directrix.

Compare the polar equation with general form of conic equation.

Here, $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ .

Since $\"\"$ ,the polar equation is parabola.

The eccentricity and the form of the equation determine that it is aparabola and directrix $\"\"$ .
