Then we will learn how to eliminate the parameter, translate the equations of a curve defined parametrically into rectangular equations, and find the parametric equations for curves defined by rectangular equations.

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.

But t in general is simply an arbitrary variable, often called in this case a parameter, and this method of specifying a curve is known as parametric equations. One important interpretation of t is time. In this interpretation, the equations x=f(t) and y=g(t) give the position of an object at time t.
