Answer

Vector form:$\begin{bmatrix}{x \\y}\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}{-4 \\4}\end{bmatrix}+t\begin{bmatrix}{1 \\1}\end{bmatrix}$ Parametric form: $x=-4+t, y=4+t$

Work Step by Step

The vector form of a line is: $x=p+td$ This implies: $\begin{bmatrix}{x \\y}\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}{-4 \\4}\end{bmatrix}+t\begin{bmatrix}{1 \\1}\end{bmatrix}$ And Parametric equations of a line are defined as such equations which are correspond to the components of the vector. Thus, the parametric form of the equation of a line is: $x=-4+t, y=4+t$ Hence, the vector form is:$\begin{bmatrix}{x \\y}\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}{-4 \\4}\end{bmatrix}+t\begin{bmatrix}{1 \\1}\end{bmatrix}$ The parametric form is: $x=-4+t, y=4+t$
