Answer

$y = \sqrt{3}~x-\frac{16~x^2}{5625}$

Work Step by Step

From Part (a): $x = 75~t$ $y = 75\sqrt{3}~t-16~t^2$ We can find an expression for $t$ in terms of $x$: $x = 75~t$ $t = \frac{x}{75}$ We can substitute this value in the equation for $y$: $y = 75\sqrt{3}~t-16~t^2$ $y = 75\sqrt{3}~(\frac{x}{75})-16~(\frac{x}{75})^2$ $y = \sqrt{3}~x-\frac{16~x^2}{5625}$
