Access the following online resource for additional instruction and practice with graphs of parametric equations.
What are two methods used to graph parametric equations?
plotting points with the orientation arrow and a graphing calculator
What is one difference in point-plotting parametric equations compared to Cartesian equations?
Why are some graphs drawn with arrows?
The arrows show the orientation, the direction of motion according to increasing values of
Name a few common types of graphs of parametric equations.
Why are parametric graphs important in understanding projectile motion?
The parametric equations show the different vertical and horizontal motions over time.
