Question

How do you graph this parametric equation?

x = 2t
y = t + 5, -2 ≤ t ≤ 3

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 Do you have any ideas?

Answer 2

when t = -2, what is x? what is y?

Answer 3

alternatively, you can solve y = t + 5 for t to get

y = t + 5

y-5 = t

t = y-5

Then plug that into x = 2t to get

x = 2t

x = 2(y-5)

I'll let you isolate y
