I have point $M(0,0,0)$ and line $$x=3t-7$$ $$y=-2t+4$$ $$z=3t+4$$ $e_1=(x_1,y_1,z_1),e_2=(x_2,y_2,z_2),e_3=(x_3,y_3,z_3)$ - our basis vectors, and $e_i*e_j=g_{ij}$ $$g_{11}=g_{22}=g_{33}=2;$$ $$g_{12}=1;g_{23}=1;g_{13}=0 $$ How to find distance from given point to given line?
Well, at first we know that $|e_1|=|e_2|=|e_3|=\sqrt2$. Also we know that $e_1*e_3=0=>e1$ is perpendicular to $e_3$. And using formula $$cos\alpha=\frac{e_i*e_j}{|e_i|*|e_j|}$$ We can find angles between vectos. Finally, we have the system $$x_1x_2+y_1y_2+z_1z_2=1$$ $$x_2x_3+y_2y_3+z_2z_3=1$$ $$x_1x_3+y_1y_3+z_1z_3=0$$
I have no idea what should I do or use next. Have any thoughts?
