Answer

$\left\{\begin{array}{l} x=t^{2}+1,\\ y=t \end{array}\right.\qquad t\leq 0$

Work Step by Step

Add a restriction on y, to obtain the lower portion of the graph: $x-1=y^{2},\ \quad y\leq 0$ $x=y^{2}+1,\ \quad y\leq 0$ Defining a parameter $t=y$, we have $\left\{\begin{array}{l} x=t^{2}+1,\\ y=t \end{array}\right.\qquad t\leq 0$ as a possible parametrization.
