Question: Describe how to eliminate the parameter to change from parametric to rectangular form. How does this ability help us with graphing parametric equations?

Answer 1

rectangular equation, or an equation in rectangular form is an equation composed of variables like xx and yy which can be graphed on a regular Cartesian plane. For example y=4x+3y=4x+3 is a rectangular equation.

A curve in the plane is said to be parameterized if the set of coordinates on the curve, (x,y)(x,y) , are represented as functions of a variable tt .

x=f(t)y=g(t)x=f(t)y=g(t)

These equations may or may not be graphed on Cartesian plane.
