The correct answer is: y=2x-5x2
 
Initial velocity u

u = u x i & u y j = i + 2 j

Where ux = velocity along ground

uy = velocity along vertical direction

at time t, let (x, y) be the coordinates of the projectile

x=uxt    so   t=xux

But ux=1 and uy=2

t=x1=x

y=uyt-12gt2

y=2x-12×10x2

y=2x-5x2 is the equation of the trajectory.
