How do you find the parameterization of a helix?

Step-by-step explanation:

A helix is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).

The parametrization for the helix is

where is the radius of the helix, is the constant, and is the parameter
