ANSWER

C. r = 3cscθ

EXPLANATION

The given Cartesian equation is:

[tex]y = 3[/tex]

The relation between Cartesian coordinates system and the polar coordinates system is:

[tex]x = r \cos( \theta) [/tex]

and

[tex]y= r \sin( \theta) [/tex]

Hence y=3 in polar coordinates is

[tex] r \sin( \theta) = 3[/tex]

Divide through by

[tex]\sin( \theta) [/tex]

[tex] r = \frac{3}{\sin( \theta) } [/tex]

Recall that,

[tex]\csc( \theta) = \frac{1}{\sin( \theta) } [/tex]

This implies that ,

[tex]r = 3\csc( \theta) [/tex]

The correct choice is C
