There are a few ways to find the distance between a point and a line. But the easiest of all is through the use of a formula. The derivation of the formula is reserved for another lesson. The word “distance” here pertains to the shortest distance between the fixed point and the line.

Find the distance between the line \(l=3x+4y-6=0\) and the point \((0,0)\). The distance formula can be reduced to a simpler form if the point is at the origin as: \[d=\frac { \left| a(0)+b(0)+c \right| }{ \sqrt { a^{ 2 }{ +b }^{ 2 } } } =\frac { \left| c \right| }{ \sqrt { { a }^{ 2 }{ +b }^{ 2 } } } .\]
The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line.
How do I find the shortest distance from a point to a line? The shortest distance from any point to a line will always be the perpendicular distance; Given a line l with equation and a point P not on l; The scalar product of the direction vector, b, and the vector in the direction of the shortest distance will be zero
The distance between a point \(P\) and a line \(L\) is the shortest distance between \(P\) and \(L\); it is the minimum length required to move from point \( P \) to a point on \( L \). In fact, this path of minimum length can be shown to be a line segment perpendicular to \( L \).
