If you have the slope-intercept form y = m x + b, you can substitute y = r sin θ and x = r cos θ to get r sin θ = m ( r cos θ ) + b, and then solving for r in terms of θ gives r = b sin θ m cos θ .
More generally, if the line has equation a x + b y = c, you can solve for r in terms of θ to get r = c a cos θ + b sin θ .
