Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
Calculate the shortest distance between the point A(6, 5) and the line y= 2x+ 3. The shortest distance is the line segment connecting the point and the line such that the segment is perpendicular to the line.
Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 3x + 2 that passes through the point (4, 5). Start with the given line: y = 3x + 2. The negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3; Substitute the point (4, 5) into the equation: 5 = -1/3 (4) + c. Solve for c: c = 5 + 4/3 = 6 1/3 = 19/3; The equation of the perpendicular line is: y = -1/3 x + 19/3.
we draw a line through the point P that intersects our line l at some other point Q, say, the distance from P to Q, PQ, is the "perpendicular" distance from the point P to l.
In this explainer, we will learn how to find the perpendicular distance between a point and a straight line or between two parallel lines on the coordinate plane using the formula. By using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find a formula for the distance between any two points in the plane.
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
