The polar equation is .
(Substitute e = 1)
Compare the equation with .
p = distance between the pole and the directix = 2.
\So, the graph of the conic is at horizontal directix above the pole.
\The polar function is .
Make the table of values to find ordered pairs that satisfy the function.
\Choose random values for and find the corresponding values for r.
