Answer

$r^{2}+4r\cos\theta-10r\sin\theta+13=0$

Work Step by Step

Expand the squares, $x^{2}+4x+4+y^{2}-10y+25=16$ $(x^{2}+y^{2})+4x-10y+13=0$ Apply the conversion formulas: $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} (x,y)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta) & \\ r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}, & \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x} \end{array}\right.$ $r^{2}+4r\cos\theta-10r\sin\theta+13=0$
