Answer

$x=3+4t; y=3-3t; z=3-3t$

Work Step by Step

The line passing through containing the point $P(p,q,r)$ and parallel to the normal vector $n=\lt a,b,c\gt$ is expressed by the parametric equations as follows: $x=p+at; y=q+bt; z=r+ct$ Here, $t$ is any real number. Now, the line passing through containing the point $P(3,3,3)$ and parallel to the normal vector $n=\lt 4,-3,-3 \gt $ is expressed by the parametric equations as follows: $x=3+4t; y=3-3t; z=3-3t$
