Cannot make out your typing
what does "cos \theta" mean ?
is it r = -5( 2cosØ + sinØ) ???
if so, here is the graph:

certainly not a line
The graph of
[r = -5/(2 cos \theta + sin \theta)]
is a line. Find the y-intercept of this line.

However,
r = -5/(2cosθ + sinθ)
is a line.
r(2cosθ+sinθ) = -5
2x+y = -5
Now the intercept isn't so hard to find, eh?
