$r^2(4\cos \theta + 5\sin \theta)^2-7r\cos \theta-6=0$ .

Just remember these coordinate conversions:

$x=r\cos \theta$

$y=r\sin \theta$

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

So the given equation is converted to

$6=(4r\cos \theta + 5r\sin \theta)^2-7r\cos \theta$ .

We can rearrange this to:

$r^2(4\cos \theta + 5\sin \theta)^2-7r\cos \theta-6=0$ .
