MAT 171 Precalculus AlgebraSection 9-7 Parametric Equations Cape Fear Community College Dr. Claude S. Moore 9.7Parametric Equations Graph parametric equations. Determine an equivalent rectangular equation for parametric equations. Determine parametric equations for a rectangular equation. Determine the location of a moving object at a specific time. Graphing Parametric Equations We have graphed plane curves that are composed of sets of ordered pairs (x, y) in the rectangular coordinate plane. Now we discuss a way to represent plane curves in which x and y are functions of a third variable
