**Parametrization of a Line through the Origin**

To find a parametrization \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) of the line through the origin, whose projection on the \( xy \)-plane has a slope of 9 and on the \( yz \)-plane has a slope of 4 (\( \frac{\Delta z}{\Delta y} = 4 \)), follow the steps below. Considering the first component of \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) is \( t \):

1. **Understanding the Slopes Given:**
   - The slope of the projection on the \( xy \)-plane (\( m_{xy} \)) is given as 9.
   - The slope of the projection on the \( yz \)-plane (\( m_{yz} \)) is given as 4 \( \left( \frac{\Delta z}{\Delta y} = 4 \right) \).

2. **Determining the Components of \( \mathbf{r}(t) \):**
   - Since the first component (x-coordinate) of the line is \( t \), use the slopes to determine the second (y-coordinate) and third (z-coordinate) components.

3. **Second Component (y-coordinate):** Based on the slope \( m_{xy} = 9 \), for an increase in \( x \) by \( t \), the change in \( y \) would be:
   \[
   y = 9t
   \]

4. **Third Component (z-coordinate):** Based on the slope \( m_{yz} = 4 \), for an increase in \( y \) by \( 9t \), the change in \( z \) would be:
   \[
   z = 4(9t) = 36t
   \]

5. **Expressing \( \mathbf{r}(t) \):**
   \[
   \mathbf{r}(t) = (t, 9t, 36t)
   \]

**Determine the components:**

- The **2nd component** of \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) = \( 9t \)
- The **3rd component** of \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) = \( 36t \)

These expressions can now be used to parametrize the given line in a 3-dimensional space.
