How to convert a rectangular equation to polar format

The video tutorial explains how to convert a rectangular equation to a polar equation. It begins by introducing the concept and the necessary formulas, X = R cos(Theta) and Y = R sin(Theta), derived from a triangle. The instructor then demonstrates how to apply these formulas to convert the given equation, 3X - Y + 2 = 0, into polar form. The process involves substituting the values, rearranging the equation, and solving for R. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between the components of the triangle and the trigonometric functions used in the conversion.
