Answer:
The distance is:
Step-by-step explanation:
We re-write the equation of the line in the format:
Notice we divided the fraction of y by 2/2, and the fraction of z by 3/3.
In that equation, the director vector of the line is built with the denominators of the equation of the line, thus:
Then the parametric equations of the line along that vector and passing through the point (-2, 3, -4) are:
We plug them into the equation of the plane to get the intersection of that line and the plane, since that intersection is the image on the plane of the point (-2, 3, -4) parallel to the given line:
Then we solve that equation for t, to get:
Then plugging that value of t into the parametric equations of the line we get the coordinates of the intersection:
Then to find the distance we just use the distance formula:
So we get:
