Answer

$x=1+3t,y=2t,z=−1+t$

Work Step by Step

Given: $x=4+3t,y=2t,z=−2+t$ The direction of the vectors is $<3,2,1>$ Formula for a line: $ r=r_0+tv $ where$ r_0$ is the starting point vector and $v$ is the direction vector. $r=<1,0,−1>+t<3,2,1> $ Therefore, the parametric equations of the line are: $x=1+3t,y=2t,z=−1+t$
