$r^2 (4 cos theta - 2 sin theta)^2 - r sin theta = 15$

$9=(4x-2y)^2-y-6$

We just substitute $x=r cos theta$ and $y=r sin theta$

$9 = (4r cos theta - 2 r sin theta)^2 - r sin theta -6$

$r^2 (4 cos theta - 2 sin theta)^2 - r sin theta = 15$

The original equation we're given wasn't simplified so it's probably OK to stop here.
