In the two-dimensional coordinate system, parametric equations are useful for describing curves that are not necessarily functions. The parameter is an independent variable that both x and y depend on, and as the parameter increases, the values of x and y trace out a path along a plane curve.

It explains how to graph parametric curves, eliminate the parameter to find Cartesian equations, and analyze motion along a path. Examples illustrate the flexibility of parametric equations in describing curves that are difficult to express in standard Cartesian form.

(To plot an ellipse using the above procedure, we need to plot the "top'' and "bottom'' separately.) In this section we introduce a new sketching procedure.
