Question
**Problem:**

Find parametric equations for the line through the point \((-10, 2, -4)\) that is perpendicular to the plane defined by the equation \(10x + 9y + 5z = 17\).

**Solution:**

Let \(z = -4 + 5t\).

The parametric equations for the line are:
- \(x =\) [blank space]
- \(y =\) [blank space]
- \(z = -4 + 5t\)

where \(-\infty < t < \infty\).
