Trying to write the cartesian version of the equation $r = theta$ which looks like a spiral when graphed. How is the that going to look?



I have:
$$
sqrtx^2+y^2 = arctanleft( fracyx right)
$$
But this looks nothing like what I expected.



Please explain your reasoning.

          Note that your LHS is always nonnegative.
