### Trigonometry Problem

**Problem Statement:**

If \( \tan t = \frac{5}{7} \), what is \( \tan(t - \pi) \)?

Enter the exact answer in the space provided.

**Answer Input:**

\[ \tan(t - \pi) = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]


**Explanation:**

To solve for \( \tan(t - \pi) \), use the tangent subtraction formula. Knowing that \( \tan(t - \pi) \) equals to \( \tan(t) \), but with a change in sign based on the periodicity of the tangent function, you can determine the answer directly.

Given:
\[ \tan t = \frac{5}{7} \]

Since the tangent function has a period of \( \pi \):
\[ \tan(t - \pi) = \tan t \]

Therefore:
\[ \tan(t - \pi) = -\frac{5}{7} \]
