Perpendicular Distance from a Point to a Line is the shortest distance from a point to a line. Perpendicular Distance formula from point(x0, y0) to the line Ax + By + C = 0.
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. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.
Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
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
