Question

Use a graphing utility to confirm your result. Then eliminate the parameter and write the corresponding rectangular equation whose graph represents the curve.
x=3-2t
y=2+3t

Answer 1

how is it a curve? its just a linear line isn't it. heres the graph

Answer 2

i did that originally and my teacher said it was wrong. he said to eliminate the parameters. how do i do that?!

Answer 3

you make the x equation equal t then sub that into the y equation then simply it

Answer 4

so y = 3x - 5 i think

Answer 5

sorry 2y = 3x - 5

Answer 6

so would it be t = (3-x)/2
y = (13-3x)/2

Answer 7

hmm

Answer 8

i am getting \(t=\frac{3-x}{2}\) and so \(y=2+3(\frac{3-x}{2})=\frac{13}{2}-\frac{3}{2}x\)

Answer 9

y = (3/2)x ?

Answer 10

SO what about these equations?
x=sqrt(t)
y=1-t

Answer 11

x^2 = t

y = 1 - x^2

Answer 12

and yeah @satellite73 is correct with the first one. I forgot the minus in the x equation
