In a rectangular coordinate system,
There is an x and a y-axis.
In polar coordinates, there is one axis, called the polar axis, and its vertex is called the pole.

In order to use your graphing calculator to graph Polar Equations, change your MODE to POLAR (instead of Function). Also, change your viewing window as follows…
For DEGREES:
min = 0max = 360step = 10Xmin = -8Xmax = 8Xscl = 1Ymin = -8Ymax = 8Yscl = 1
For RADIANS:
min = 0max = 2 step = /18Xmin = -8Xmax = 8Xscl = 1Ymin = -8Ymax = 8Yscl = 1
