Answer:

c. x = 7-t; y = -1/(t -7)

Explanation:

To find the parametric equation for x, use the equation for t and solve for x.

t = 7-x

x = 7 -t . . . . . . add x-t to both sides

__

To find the parametric equation for y, substitute the equation for x.

y = 1/x

y = 1/(7-t)

To make this match the available choices, we need to multiply numerator and denominator by -1.

y = -1/(t -7)

The parametric equations are ...

x = 7 -t; y = -1/(t -7) . . . . . . matches choice C
