Answer

$\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=t-2 \end{cases}$ with $2\leq t\leq 7$

Work Step by Step

Determine the slope of the line: $m=\dfrac{5-0}{7-2}=1$ The equation of the line is: $y-5=1(x-7)$ $y-5=x-7$ $y=x-7+5$ $y=x-2$ Find parametric equations that define the given line: $\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=t-2 \end{cases}$ with $2\leq t\leq 7$
