Question:

Use a graphing calculator or computer and the result of Exercise 37(a) to draw the triangle with vertices A(1, 1), B(4, 2), and C(1, 5).


Data From Exercise 37:

(a) Show that 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).

(b) Find parametric equations to represent the line segment from (−2, 7) to (3, −1).
