x-3/3=y/0=z/-4=$(let)       (given)

A(3$+3,0,-4$)    is any point on given line

Dc of y axis 0,1,0

Any point on y axis B(0,k,0)

DC of AB 3$+3-0,0-k,-4$-0

For shortest distance

(3$+3)*3+(-k)*0+(-4$)*(-4)=0

So,$=-9/25

Also,

(3$+3)*0+-k*1+(-4$)*0=0

So,k=0

Therefore shortest distance between the lines is distance between 

A(48/25,0,-36/25) and B(0,0,0)

=12/5
