Finding the tangent line to the polar curve

To find the equation of the tangent line to a polar curve at a particular point, we’ll first use a formula to find the slope of the tangent line, then find the point of tangency (x,y) using the polar-coordinate conversion formulas, and finally we’ll plug the slope and the point of tangency into the point-slope formula for the equation of a tangent line.
