22 paź 2020 · I need to calculate the shortest distance from anyplace on this line to a point (X', Y') elsewhere on the coordinate plane. If this is represented by X' in D1, and Y' in D2, I'm using the formula: =ABS((SLOPE(B1:B10,A1:A10)*D1-D2+INTERCEPT(B1:B10,A1:A10))/SQRT(SLOPE(B1:B10,A1:A10)2 +1)).

21 lip 2016 · How can I draw a perpendicular on a line segment from a given point? My line segment is defined as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), If I draw a perpendicular from a point (x3,y3) and it meets to line on point (x4,y4). I want to find out this (x4,y4).
Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
The distance between a point and a line, is defined as the shortest distance between a fixed point and any point on the line. It is the length of the line segment that is perpendicular to the line and passes through the point.
To compute the length of a 2D line given the coordinates of two points on the line, you can use the distance formula, adapted for Excel's formula syntax. In the example shown, the formula in G5, copied down, is: =SQRT ( (D5-B5)^2+ (E5-C5)^2) where the coordinates of the two points are given in columns B through E.
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.
