QUESTION:

Find the slope of each line and a point on the like. Then graph the line.

x = 1 + 2t/3, y = -4 - 5t/2

ANSWER:

Solution 30E

Step 1:

Given parametric lines are; x = 1+ , y = −4 − .

In this problem we have to find the slope and a point on the line.

Let us consider two parametric equations ; x = a + bt  , y = c + dt.

Then the slope of the line that these two parametric curves define is equal to  , and the  starting point  of the graph of parametric equations of a line will be located at ( t+a , t+c).
