Given the equation of a plane in rectangular coordinates to be y = 4x.
The cylindrical coordinates of the axis is as given below;
x = rcosθ
y = rsinθ
z = z
Since there is no z coordinate in the equation of the plane given, we will only substitute x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ into the equation y = 4x and simply the result as shown;
y = 4x
rsinθ = 4( rcosθ)
rsinθ = 4rcosθ
sinθ = 4cosθ
sinθ - 4cosθ = 0
<em>Hence the equation for the plane in cylindrical coordinate is expressed as sinθ - 4cosθ = 0</em>
