Answer: y = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is asking us to remove the parameter. In other words, we want an equation with only the relation between x and y, so we need to remove the t. There are a few ways to do this, but I am going to set one equation equal to t and then plug it into the next one.
Given:
x = 5t
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
t = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x
-
Given:
y = t + 8
Plug in:
y = ([tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x) + 8
Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]x + 8
