### Linear Algebra Problem: Distance from a Point to a Line

Given the following vectors:

\[ \mathbf{y} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad \mathbf{u} = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \\ -4 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} \]

Compute the distance \( d \) from \( \mathbf{y} \) to the line through \( \mathbf{u} \) and the origin.

#### What You Need to Do:
1. Find the projection of \( \mathbf{y} \) onto \( \mathbf{u} \).
2. Use the projection to calculate the distance \( d \) between \( \mathbf{y} \) and the line defined by \( \mathbf{u} \) through the origin.

Please enter the computed distance into the box below:
\[ d = \boxed{\phantom{-}} \]

### Explanation of Graphs/Diagrams:
There are no graphs or diagrams in this example. It is purely a computational problem involving vector arithmetic.
