Eliminating the Parameter
Description
Given two equations, one for x and one for y, both in terms of a third parameter variable t, eliminating the parameter is as simple as solving one of the equations for t and making a substitution into the other equation. This will leave you with one equation instead of two, which will be in terms of x and y only, the parameter variable having been eliminated.
