1) $θ = - \frac{π}{6}$

It depends on whether you allow negative values for r.

If you allow negative values for r, then the graph is a line that passes through the origin and the polar point

$(1, \frac{π}{6})$

If you do not allow negative values for r, then the graph is a ray that starts at the origin and passes through the polar point

$(1, \frac{π}{6})$

Both the origin and the point $(1, \frac{π}{6})$ are easily plotted on polar graph paper.

If you do not have polar graph paper you can plot the line:

$y = \tan (\frac{π}{6}) x$

Recalculate according to your conditions!
