Convert the following parametric equation into rectangular form:

Convert the following parametric equation into rectangular form:
Tap to reveal answer
To convert from parametric form to rectangular form, we must eliminate the parameter:
To do this we will first get t in terms of x.

Now, replace all of the t's in the equation for y:
