Converting parametric equations in a numerical equation

Question

Is it possible convert this parametric equations in a numerical equation?

$$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle x(t)=tv_0\cos(\theta)\\ \displaystyle y(t)=tv_0\sin(\theta)-\frac{1}{2}gt^2+h \end{cases} $$

Look at this Wikipedia's entry, at:

"Conversion from two parametric equations to a single equation"

"Numerical equation"? Can you given an example of what you mean? — DonAntonio, Oct 20 '12 at 22:42
Unclear question followed by an unclear solution. What can one say about it? — Seyhmus Güngören, Oct 21 '12 at 00:06
Answer...to what, @FormlessCloud?! You just wrote in your "answer" a mathematical expression which I've no idea what it is and what its relation with your question is. — DonAntonio, Oct 21 '12 at 02:44
@FormlessCloud, I'm sorry to say this but your answer below still makes no sense. I know what is to try to make parametric equations into one single equation, but below you did NOT write any equation but only an expression! — DonAntonio, Oct 21 '12 at 16:56

Solved:

$$ y=h+\left(x\tan(\theta)-\frac{g}{2v_0\cos^2(\theta)}x^2\right) $$
