Select the best description for the curve given by the parametric equation
x = t-5, y = 2t-1, t in R.
Choices for answers are:
a.) a straight line with slope
b.) a straight line through the point (5,1)
c.) a parabola with vertex (-5,1)
d.) a circle centered at (5, -1)
--------------
Plot some points by letting t= -1,0,1,2,3
You will get a straight line.
