i have an idea, yes

anonymous · Answer

solve the first equation for $t$ in terms of $x$
then replace $t$ in the second equation by whatever you get for $t$ in the first one
you will have written $y$ in terms of $x$

anonymous · Answer

if that is not clear, let me know

anonymous · Answer

so t = x-2 / 9 ?

anonymous · Answer

i managed to get y = 2 (x-2 / 9) - 2 ? How do I solve it now if that's correct? @satellite73

plug an x value  into your new equation. plug the new x and y value into the parametric equation and see if the T values match up
