Parametric equations define a curve where x and y are defined in terms of a third variable called a parameter. The graph of parametric equations consists of all points (x,y) obtained by allowing the parameter to vary over its domain. Eliminating the parameter between the two equations yields a non-parametric equation of the curve. Examples are provided of eliminating parameters between various parametric equations to obtain the curve and sketching the resulting graphs. Exercises are given to further practice eliminating parameters and sketching curves.
