8 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)).
Using the perpendicular distance formula, find the equation of the line that passes through the third point and is perpendicular to the line found in step 1. The perpendicular distance from a point (x3, y3) to a line with equation Ax + By + C = 0 is:
Excel can be used to easily calculate distance between points by using the Pythagorean Theorem, which involves finding the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences between the x and y coordinates of two points.
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. Generic formula.

Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
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).
