The question is faulty written. I'll solve it assuming values for one variable and provide the answer to guide the student in their own question

Answer:

x=t

y=-1-9t

Explanation:

Parametric Equations

Given an explicit relation between variables x and y, we can find expression for both of them in term of a third parameter t, such as

x=f(t)

y=g(t)

provided the main relation holds.

we have the equation

9x+y=-1

There are infinitely many forms to find parametric expressions for the variables, let's assume

x=t

Solving the equation for y

y=-1-9x=-1-9t

Thus the parametric equations are

x=t

y=-1-9t
