Answer

$r^{2}-6r\cos\theta+2r\sin\theta+6=0$

Work Step by Step

Expand the squares, $x^{2}-6x+9+y^{2}+2y+1=4$ $(x^{2}+y^{2})-6x+2y+6=0$ Apply the conversion formulas: $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} (x,y)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta) & \\ r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}, & \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x} \end{array}\right.$ $r^{2}-6r\cos\theta+2r\sin\theta+6=0$
