Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
This online calculator uses the line-point distance formula to determine the distance between a point and a line in the 2D plane. Distance between a line and a point supports lines in both standard and slope-intercept form
Perpendicular Distance from a Point to a Line is the shortest distance from a point to a line. Perpendicular Distance formula from point(x0, y0) to the line Ax + By + C = 0.
Drop a perpendicular from the point P with coordinates ( x0, y0) to the line with equation Ax + By + C = 0. Label the foot of the perpendicular R. Draw the vertical line through P and label its intersection with the given line S.
Distance from a point to a line is equal to length of the perpendicular distance from the point to the line. If A x + B y + C = 0, 2D line equation, then distance between point M(M x , M y ) and line can be found using the following formula
In Euclidean geometry, the distance from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a given point to any point on an infinite straight line. It is the perpendicular distance of the point to the line, the length of the line segment which joins the point to nearest point on the line.
