How do you rotate a circle a certain distance around the polar plot Theta=Linspace(0,2*pi) Rho=Sin(theta) Polarplot(theta,rho)

For this specific case, you can rotate by adding within the sin(theta) call.
theta = linspace(0,2*pi);
rot_ccw = 1; % rotate the circle counterclockwise by 1 radian
rho = sin(theta + rot_ccw);
polarplot(theta, rho)

Thank you I have a follow up question, if this circle was intersecting another circle. How could I find the Intersecting points?
