Answer:

(x, y, z) = (2+44t, 2+14t, 7-20t)

Explanation:

One way to write parametric equations for line L is ...

L = P + t·v

where P is the given point and v is the given direction vector. Using that form, we have ...

(x, y, z) = (2+44t, 2+14t, 7-20t)

__

If you like, you can remove a common factor of 2 from the coefficients of t.

(x, y, z) = (2+22t, 2+7t, 7-10t)
