theta = alpha is the equation of the radial line,from pole, in that

direction.

The radial line is in [ Q_1 Q_2 Q_3 Q_4 ],

if alpha in [ Q_1 Q_2 Q_3 Q_4 ], respectively.

Here, it is in Q_1, wherein both x and y >= 0.

The slope of this line is tan ( 30^o ) = 1/sqrt3 and the Cartesian

equation is

y =1/sqrt3 x, x >=0 and y >= 0, See graph.
