Answer

$\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=-t+1 \end{cases}$ with $-1\leq t\leq 3$

Work Step by Step

Determine the slope of the line: $m=\dfrac{3-(-1)}{-2-2}=-1$ The equation of the line is: $y-5=1(x-7)$ $y-(-2)=-(x-3)$ $y+2=-x+3$ $y=-x+3-2$ $y=-x+1$ Find parametric equations that define the given line: $\begin{cases} x=t\\ y=-t+1 \end{cases}$ with $-1\leq t\leq 3$
