Eliminate s from the line representation.

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

Revisit first: Parabola

TOPIC 01

Parametric curves and preserved domains

Eliminate parameters while retaining ranges, missing points and the geometry of the locus.

Eliminate parameters while retaining ranges, missing points and the geometry of the locus.
Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

x=s+5,\quad y=2s+1

An eliminated equation may contain extra points; retain every restriction implied by the parameter domain.

Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Write the defining equation, retain exclusions, and then solve or compare.

Hint 2

Use this intermediate relation.

s=x−t

Worked solution

The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.

y=2x-9

Checks and common pitfalls: An unrestricted real parameter traces the entire line.

Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Eliminate parameters while retaining ranges, missing points and the geometry of the locus.
Which condition is essential in parametric curves and preserved domains?
Do x=s²,y=s⁴ and x=s,y=s² trace the same set?

Model or definition: Eliminate parameters while retaining ranges, missing points and the geometry of the locus.
$x=f(s),\quad y=g(s)$
Conditions: An eliminated equation may contain extra points; retain every restriction implied by the parameter domain.
