Question

Eliminate the parameter.

x = 7t, y = t + 4

i dont get this at all

Answer 1

solve x=7t for t. This gives you t=x/7. Then just plug this value of t into the equation for y and get your answer.

Answer 2

or you can solve y = t + 4 for t to get t = y - 4

now plug this into x = 7t, then solve for y

Answer 3

so it would be y = (x/7)+4?

Answer 4

correct

Answer 5

so then would that be the answer?

Answer 6

yup. definitely. you're done.

Answer 7
