Eliminate the parameter t. Please write your answer in simplest form solved for y.

Question

Consider the following parametric equations:

x=√ t−1 and y=3t−1

Step 1 of 2: Eliminate the parameter t. Please write your answer in simplest form solved for y.

Answer 1

1) Write the first equation (the one with x and t) in terms of x – meaning, t = (something that has x in it)

2) Plug in the the equation for t into the equation y=3t-1
