If the length of the perpendicular from

One of the point on line is $\mathrm{P}(0,1,-1)$ and given point is $Q(\beta, 0, \beta)$.

So, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{PQ}}=\beta \hat{\mathrm{i}}-\hat{\mathrm{j}}+(\beta+1) \hat{\mathrm{k}}$

Hence, $\beta^{2}+1+(\beta+1)^{2}-\frac{(\beta-\beta-1)^{2}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \beta^{2}+2 \beta=0$

$\Rightarrow \beta=0,-1$

$\Rightarrow \beta=-1 \quad$ (as $\beta \neq 0)$
