The polar equation is
.
Write the equation in standard form:
.
Where
is the eccentricity and
represents the line of directrix.


.
Compare the above equation with the standard form of polar equation.
\Here
and
.
Since the eccentricity is
, the conic represents a parabola.
Now
.
Therefore
.
The equation of directrix is
.
(b)
\The polar equation is
.
Write the equation in standard form:
.
Where
is the eccentricity and
represents the line of directrix.


.
Compare the above equation with the standard form of polar equation.
\Here
and
.
Since the eccentricity is
, the conic represents a hyperbola.
Now
.

\
The equation of directrix is
