For each of the described curves, decide if the curve would be more easily given by a polar equation or a Cartesian equation. Then write an equation for the curve. 1. (a) A line through the origin that makes an angle of π/6 with the positive x- axis.   (b) A vertical line through the point (1, 1).   2. (a) A circle with radius 5 and center (2, 3).     (b) A circle centered at the origin with radius 4.
