Test the equation for symmetry with respect to the given axis, line, or pole.
-$\mathrm { r } = 3 - 6 \sin \theta$; the polar axis
A) May or may not be symmetric with respect to the polar axis
B) Symmetric with respect to the polar axis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation $ r = 3 - 6 \sin \theta $ is not symmetric with respect to the polar axis because replacing $\theta$ with $-\theta$ does not yield the same equation.
