3x +2y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate are both linear functions of t, so their relationship to each other is linear. A graph of those (x, y) points must be a line.
___
You can find an equation by solving one of the expressions for t, then substituting that into the other.
x = 2t +3
t = (x -3)/2
Substituting into the y expression, we get ...
y = 3 -3(x -3)/2
y = (-3/2)x + 15/2
3x +2y = 15 . . . . . . . add 3/2x and multiply by 2 to put into standard form
_____
The attached graph shows a portion of the line defined parametrically (0 ≤ t ≤ 1). It is dotted so you can see it overlays the line defined by the linear equation in x and y.
