Question

anonymous · Answer

Seems like a work for the dot product to me.

yrelhan4 · Answer

so i converted all of it into cartesian form. wrote the line as (x-2)/6=(y-3)/3=(z+4)/-4
then i put all of it =r. found out random points. then found out direction ratios of the perpendicular. through condition of perpendicularity found r. and found those random points. and the found the distance. 
the answer i am getting is wrong.
