In this problem, we are given a linear curve and we want to represent this line by a vector-valued function. There are many ways to solve this problem but the most used one is to let x=tx=t.

Now, we must also remember that a vector-valued function can be written in the form

r(t)=f(t)i+g(t)j,\textbf{r}(t)=f(t)\textbf{i}+g(t) \textbf{j},

where we can also express this into parametric equations such that

x=f(t)x=f(t)

and

y=g(t).y=g(t).
