Eliminate the parameters

OpenStudy (abbles):

Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve. x = 3 - 4t, y = 2 - 3t

OpenStudy (abbles):

Do I solve for t and then set the two equation equal to each other?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, that is one way of two. The other is to multiply the first by 3 and the second by -4 then add them, you get your Cartesian equation.

OpenStudy (abbles):

Ooh, thanks! I'll let you know what I get

OpenStudy (3mar):

Glad for that!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for the medal!
