QUESTION:
Give a set of parametric equations that describes the following curves. Graph the curve and indicate the positive orientation. Be sure to specify the interval over which the parameter varies.
The piecewise linear path from P(-2, 3) to Q(2, -3) to R(3, 5).
ANSWER:Solution 37E
Given curve is a piecewise linear path from P (-2,3) to Q (2,-3) to R(3,5)
We have to find parametric equations of the given curve
We know that if the passing through the point ( x0 , y0 ) and having slope
Then the parametric equations of such line are
x = x0 + at, y = y0 + bt, -
Slope of the line segment PQ is
