Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the rectangular equation $2x + 3y = 6$ to its polar form, we use the relations $x = r\cos\theta$ and $y = r\sin\theta$. Substituting these into the given equation yields $2(r\cos\theta) + 3(r\sin\theta) = 6$, which simplifies to $r(2\cos\theta + 3\sin\theta) = 6$. Solving for $r$ gives $r = \frac{6}{2\cos\theta + 3\sin\theta}$, which matches choice C.
