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.
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.
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.
use the formula to find the distance between two parallel lines, find the possible equations for a line at a specified perpendicular distance from a point, find the area of a given polygon on the coordinate plane using the concept of the distance between a point and a line.
Question 1: Shown on the grid is the line, , and the point (5, 0) (a) Find the gradient of a line perpendicular to (b) Find the equation of the line perpendicular to that passes through the point (5, 0) (c) Find the point where your answer to (b) and the line intersect. (d) Calculate the distance between your answer to (c)
