can someone do this parametric equation for me.?

x=2t-1

y= -5t-2

t is greater than or = to 0

express y as a function of x using the equation and state any restriction on x.

I can give you some tips on how

to these types of eqns

you see that each is written

with respect to “t”

so solve each eqn for “t”

you end up with

t=stuff with x in it

x+1=2t (now divide each side by 2)

and

t=stuff with y in it

since both of these eqns

are equal to “t” they are

equal to each other

stuff with x in it=stuff with y in it

then solve for y, that is, end up with

y=stuff with x in it

it will probably be a fraction

here is a hint

x=(-2y+9)/5

to check for restrictions

t=(x+1)/2

since t>=0, then

(x+1)/2>=0

multiply each side by 2

x+1>=0

subtract 1 from each side

x>=-1

is your restriction for x

0
