Rewrite the parametric equation by eliminating the parameter x=4t+1 and y=t-3

The equation is x = 4y + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the parametric equations

- Parametric equations are a set of equations that express a set

 of quantities as explicit functions of a number of independent

 variables

- Ex: x = at + b and y = ct + d are parametric equations

- We use them to find relation between the variables x and y

* Lets solve the problem

∵ x = 4t + 1 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = t - 3 ⇒ (2)

- The parameter is t to eliminate it find t in terms of x or y

- We will use equation (2) to find t in terms of y

∵ y = t - 3 ⇒ add 3 to both sides

∴ t = y + 3 ⇒ (3)

- Substitute the value of t in equation (3) in equation (1)

∵ x = 4t + 1

∵ t = y + 3

∴ x = 4(y + 3) + 1 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ x = 4y + 12 + 1 ⇒ add like term

∴ x = 4y + 13

* The equation is x = 4y + 13
