The best way to solve this problem is to graph all variables, velocity being the dependent variable (y-axis) and time being the independent variable (x-axis) . Since we are given two points for the two variables, we use the point-slope formula to get the slope which happens to be -1. We then use the standard form y = mx + b and substitute m with -1. Next we want to find b, we will again use the point slope formula now knowing m to be -1. we chose point 0 for time(x-axis) and at zero, we obtain a value of your b which happens to be +19. A line graph would better visualize my point. Cheers!

Answer:
First, plug-in x and y as 3sinθ-2 and 3cosθ+4 into the equation, respectively:

Then, +2 and -2 cancel out and +4 and -4 cancel out as well, leaving you with:

We can factor out 3^2 = 9 from both equations:

We know from a trigonometric identity that
, meaning we can reduce the equation to:


And therefore, we have shown that (x+2)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 9, if x=3sinθ-2 and y=3cosθ+4.
Hope this helped you.
