Activity 2 - Parametric Equations and Their Graphs

In Activity 1, you had to change parametric coordinates to rectangular equations.

Now, you are to match the parametric equation with its graph.

 Using the given intervals, set up a table of values, then draw a rough sketch of the ordered pairs.

Compare your rough sketch to the available graphs.

You are to match the parametric equation with its graph.

Don't use your calculator or Desmos to complete this.

NOTE: Some equations are impossible to rewrite in terms of x - i.e.

 x = y^2 - 3y + 2.

 This would be crazy to rewrite as y = ..., so leave equations like the above example as it is.
