can someone also help clarify what the actual Equation of the trajectory of motion is?

$x=vtcos\theta , y=vtsin\theta -\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$t= \frac{x}{vcos\theta}$

$y= xtan\theta -\frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}$

Usually they ask you to prove it

oh right so basically the Cartesian thanks. I just didn't realize that was the actual equation of the 'trajectory' makes sense thanks heaps
