    Parametrization of Intersecting Curves

    Find a parametrization of the following curve:
    The intersection of the plane with the sphere

    x , y , z

    I found y to be 7, but this is trivial. How can I find x and z for the parametrization? Please help!

    Hi

    Substituting y=7 in the equation yields x^2+z^2=74-49=25. What kind of curve is described by this ?
