Parametric Equations

We are given the following equations:


\begin{gathered} t=2-x \\ y=1-5x^2 \end{gathered}

We are required to find a set of parametric equations.

Let's set 't' as the parameter. We need to find x and y as functions of t.

Solving the first equation for x:


x=-t+2

Substituting in the second equation:


\begin{gathered} y=1-5(-t+2)^2 \\ \text{Expanding the square:} \\ y=1-5(t^2-4t+4) \\ \text{Operating:} \\ y=1-5t^2+20t-20 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ y=-5t^2+20t-19 \end{gathered}

This corresponds to the second choice
