The parametric equations
x = x1 +
(x2 −
x1)t, y
= y1 +
(y2 −
y1)t
where
0 ≤ t ≤ 1
describe the line segment that joins the points
P1(x1,
y1)
and
P2(x2,
y2).
Use a graphing device to draw the triangle with vertices
A(1, 1), B(4, 3), C(1, 6). Find the
parametrization, including endpoints, and sketch to check. (Enter
your answers as a comma-separated list of equations. Let x
and y be in terms of t.)
