How do I do this, some plz help:

"Eliminate the parameter t and identify the graph of the parametric equations.

Given: x = 3t-2, y=t + 1, -∞ < t < ∞"

3 answers

solve each for t
x = 3t-2 ----> t = (x+2)/3
y = t+1 -----> t = y-1

now equate (x+2)/3 to y-1 and simplify
You should be able to identify that function and its graph
Thank you for replying, but how do u equate (x+2)/3 to y-1
If t = (x+2)/3 and
t = y-1
the two "right sides" are equal to the same thing, so they are equal to each other.
