Point is (−1,2,6) Line passes through the point (2,3,−4) parallel to vector whose direction ratios is 6,3,−4. Equation is 6x−2=3y−3=−4z+4=λ Any point on this line is given by x=6 λ+2,y=3λ+3,z=−4λ−4 Now, d. Rs of line passing through (−1,2,6) and ⊥ to this line is {(x+1),(y−2),(z−6)} So, 6(x+1)+3(y−2)−4(z−6)=0 ⇒6x+3y−4z+24=0 Now, 6(6λ+2)+3(3λ+3)+4(4λ+4) +24=0 ⇒61λ+61=0⇒λ=−1 So, x=−4,y=0,z=0 Now, distance between (−1,2,6) and (−4,0,0) is 9+4+36=49=7
