(a) Find the vector and the Cartesian equations of a line passing through the point $(1, 2, -4)$ and parallel to the line joining the points $A(3, 3, -5)$ and $B(1, 0, -11)$. Hence, find the distance between the two lines. OR (b) Find the equations of the line passing through the points $A(1, 2, 3)$ and $B(3, 5, 9)$. Hence, find the coordinates of the points on this line which are at a distance of 14 units from point B.
