Question
**Problem Statement:**

Let \( L \) be the line passing through the point \( P(-1, -3, -2) \) with direction vector \( \mathbf{d} = [-1, 1, 1]^T \). Find the shortest distance \( d \) from the point \( P_0(-1, 4, -3) \) to \( L \), and the point \( Q \) on \( L \) that is closest to \( P_0 \). Use the square root symbol ‘\(\sqrt{}\)’ where needed to give an exact value for your answer.

**Instructions:**

- Enter the value of \( d = \) [Input box]
- Enter the coordinates of \( Q = ( \text{[Input box]}, \text{[Input box]}, \text{[Input box]} ) \)
