Concepts used: The coordinate system conversion formula is as follows:
a) From polar to rectangular: 
x=rcosθ 
y=rsinθ 
b) From rectangular to polar: 
r=±x2 + y2 
cosθ=xr, sinθ=yr, tanθ=xy 
Calcculation: 
Equivalent polar equation conversion:
y= 3 
Put x=rcosθ, y=rsinθ, 
 rsinθ= 3 
 r= 3sinθ 
Thus, desired equivalent polar equation would be r= 3sinθ
