Parametric Equations
We can define both elements of the ordered pair, (x, y), in terms of another variable, t, called a parameter.
Example: Given and ,a) Find the points determined by t = -3, -2, -1, 0,
1, 2, & 3.b) Find a direct relationship between y and x and
determine whether the parametric equations determine y as a function of x.
c) Graph the relationship in the xy-plane.

Graphing in Parametric Mode
In order to graph parametric equations, you must change your mode from functions to parametric. Hit the “Mode” key. On the 4th line, shift to PAR.
Example: Given and ,a) Use a graphing calculator to find the points
determined by t = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, & 3.b) Use a graphing calculator to graph the relation in
the xy-plane.c) Is y a function of x?d) Find an algebraic relationship between x and y.

Eliminating Parameters
Solve for one variable. Substitute into 2nd equation. Simplify.
Example: Eliminate the parameter and identify the graph of the parametric curve:

Finding Parametric Equations of a Line
Example: Find a parametrization for the line through the points (4,1)when t = 0 and (19, 26) when t = 5.
