Question:
Show that the line $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}=(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+5 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+7 \hat{\mathrm{k}})+\lambda(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+4 \hat{\mathrm{k}})$ is parallel to the plane $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}})=7$. Also, find the distance between them.
Solution:
