Sketching the Graph of a Pair of Parametric Equations by Plotting Points

Sketch the graph of the parametric equations $x (t) = t^{2} + 1,$ $y (t) = 2 + t .$

Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.

Your turn

The book's Try It right after this example: same idea, new numbers. Only the answer is given.

Sketch the graph of the parametric equations $x = \sqrt{t},$ $y = 2 t + 3,$ $0 \leq t \leq 3.$

How did it go?
