Question

Eliminate the parameter.

x = t - 3, y equals two divided by quantity t plus five

Answer 1

Answer:

  y = 2/(x +8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the first equation for t and substitute that expression into the second equation.

  x = t -3

  x + 3 = t

Then for y, we have

  y = 2/(t +5)

  y = 2/((x +3) +5) . . . . substitute for t

  y = 2/(x +8) . . . . . . . . simplify
