Question
**Topic: Vector and Parametric Equations**

**Objective:**
Find the vector and parametric equations for the line passing through the point \( P(4, -2, -4) \) and parallel to the vector \( 4\mathbf{i} - \mathbf{j} + 4\mathbf{k} \).

---

**Vector Form Equation:**

\[
\mathbf{r} = \langle 4, -2, -4 \rangle + t \langle 4, -1, 4 \rangle
\]

- **Initial Point**: \(\langle 4, -2, -4 \rangle\)
- **Direction Vector**: \(\langle 4, -1, 4 \rangle\)
  
---

**Parametric Form Equations:**

Using parameter \( t \):

- \( x = x(t) = 4 + 4t \)
- \( y = y(t) = -2 - t \)
- \( z = z(t) = -4 + 4t \)

These equations represent the line in terms of the parameter \( t \), passing through the point \( P \) when \( t = 0 \).
