SOLUTION: Suppose you graphed every single point of the form (2t + 3, 3-3t). For example, when t=2, we have 2t + 3 = 7 and 3-3t = -3, so (7,-3) is on the graph. Explain why the graph is a li

Question 1068661: Suppose you graphed every single point of the form (2t + 3, 3-3t). For example, when t=2, we have 2t + 3 = 7 and 3-3t = -3, so (7,-3) is on the graph. Explain why the graph is a line, and find an equation whose graph is this line.

For a line there is a linear relationship between the x and y coordinates.
Since both x and y have a linear t representation, you're in luck.
You can define the line as,

So starting with x,

Now substitute this into y,
