1. In parametric equations, both x and y are expressed as functions of a third variable, usually denoted by , which is called the .
2. To convert a parametric equation to a Cartesian equation, we often the parameter from the two equations.
1. Convert the following parametric equations to a Cartesian equation:
x = t + 3
y = 2t - 1
1. Which of the following is a parametric representation of the line y = 3x - 2?
x = t, y = 3t + 2
x = t, y = 3t - 2
x = 3t, y = t - 2
x = t - 2, y = 3t
1. Consider the parametric equations:
x = t^2
y = t + 1
