If the lines $2x = ky = -z$ and $6x = -y = -4z$ are perpendicular to each other, then the value of $k$ is:

Let the point $(-1, \alpha, \beta)$ lie on the line of the shortest distance between the lines $\frac{x+2}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{4}=\frac{z-5}{2}$ and $\frac{x+2}{-1}=\frac{y+6}{2}=\frac{z-1}{0}$. Then $(\alpha-\beta)^2$ is equal to ....................

If the coordinates of the points $A, B, C,$ and $D$ are $(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 7), (-4, 3, -6),$ and $(2, 9, 2)$ respectively,then find the angle between the lines $AB$ and $CD$. (in $^\circ$)

The angle between the lines $2x = 3y = -z$ and $6x = -y = -4z$ is (in $^{\circ}$)

Show that the line passing through the points $(4,7,8)$ and $(2,3,4)$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $(-1,-2,1)$ and $(1,2,5)$.

Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct points on the line $L : \frac{x-6}{3} = \frac{y-7}{2} = \frac{z-7}{-2}$. Both $A$ and $B$ are at a distance $2\sqrt{17}$ from the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point $P(1, 2, 3)$ to the line $L$. If $O$ is the origin,then $\overrightarrow{OA} \cdot \overrightarrow{OB}$ is equal to:
