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.
To nd the distance of a point P to a line l we always consider the perpendicular distance from the point to the line. What does "perpendicular" distance mean? If 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. This is ...
