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)).
12 maj 2009 · I'm assuming you want to find the shortest distance between the point and a line segment; to do this, you need to find the line (lineA) which is perpendicular to your line segment (lineB) which goes through your point, determine the intersection between that line (lineA) and your line which goes through your line segment (lineB); if that point ...

Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
Drop a perpendicular from the point P with coordinates ( x0, y0) to the line with equation Ax + By + C = 0. Label the foot of the perpendicular R. Draw the vertical line through P and label its intersection with the given line S.
Learn how to calculate the perpendicular distance between a line and a point in Excel using a simple formula. Understand the components of the formula and see an example calculation.
From the figure above let \(d\) be the perpendicular distance from the point \(Q({ x }_{ 0 },{ y }_{ 0 })\) to the line \(ax+by+c=0.\) We also let \(\vec{n}\) be a vector normal to the line that starts from point \(P({ x }_{ 1 },{ y }_{ 1 })\).
