#y=1/x#

Explanation:

I'm not sure exactly what "solving" a parametric equation would mean, but given #x=sec(t)# and #y=cos(t)#.

If you want to eliminate the parameter, then we can use the fact that #sec(t) = 1/cos(t)\rightarrow cos(t)=1/sec(t)#

Now, #y=cos(t) = 1/sec(t) = 1/x#, so #y=1/x#.

I hope this is what you're looking for!
