Dear Student,
Solve this equations to eliminate the t. You will get a second degree equation in x and y. Then compare with the general equation of second degree equation i.e. ax2+by2+2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0. Then you will find that
Since, abc+2fgh-af2-bg2-ch2 is not equal to zero and h2=ab. Therefore this equation will represent a parabola.
Thanks.
