Let L₁ be the line passing through the point P₁=(2, −1, −1) with direction vector =[3, −3, −3]ª, and let L₂ be the line passing through the point P₂=(−2, −5, 1) with the same direction vector. Find the shortest distance d between these two lines, and find a point Q₁ on L₁ and a point Q₂ on L₂ so that d(Q1,Q₂) = ) = d. Use the square root symbol '' where needed to give an exact value for your answer.

Let L₁ be the line passing through the point P₁=(2, −1, −1) with direction vector =[3, −3, −3]¹, and let L2 be
the line passing through the point P₂=(−2, −5, 1) with the same direction vector.
Find the shortest distance d between these two lines, and find a point Q₁ on L₁ and a point Q₂ on L₂ so that
d(Q1,Q2) = d. Use the square root symbol '√' where needed to give an exact value for your answer.
d = 0
Q₁ = (0, 0, 0)
Q₂ = (0, 0, 0)
