Step 1 
Solution 
Given 
The given cartesian equation is 
y=2, 
Finding the polar equation is necessary.
Step 2 
The given cartesian equation is 
y=2 
From the relationship of cartesian and polar coordinates we have : 
y=rsin0 
Plug the above values in the equation of the curve, 
rsin0=2 
Apply the trignometric property to simplify the above equation 
rsin0=2 
r=2sin0 
Thus the polar equation 
r=2sin0
