how can this be written in parametric form?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

any thoughts? we have a point and a direction with any line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry I'm confused in this one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

first step is just solving for y, put it into slope intercept form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

setiing: y = mx + b , then let x= 0 + 1t therefore the parametric version is x = t y = mt + b

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the direction vector is (1,m) which can be reworked if we dont like fractions and the anchor point is (0,b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got y=5+(3x/2)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, and let x=t and we have parametricised y in terms of t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i got it :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i knew you would ;) good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=t and y=5+(3t/2)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or equivalently x = 0 + 2t y = 5 + 3t if you dont like fractions
