Eliminate the parameter. x = t + 4, y = t2

Maybe you could express t in terms of x?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

what do you mean?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

x = t + 4 Just play with the equation, so that t stands alone on one side...and everything else on the other.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

okay t=x-4

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so then i just square that? (x-4)(x-4)=x^2-8x+16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now simply put that value in y= t^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep
