22 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)).
Shows how to find the perpendicular distance from a point to a line, and a proof of the formula.
10 gru 2013 · The following VBA Function calculates the distance from the point (X,Y) to the straight line. Option Explicit. Function Dist2Line (Y As Double, X As Double, Ys As Variant, Xs As Variant) As Double. 'Distance from the point (X,Y) to a straight line with equation Y=A0+A1*X.
21 lip 2016 · To find the perpendicular of a given line which also passes through a particular point (x, y), solve the equation y = (-1/m)x + b, substituting in the known values of m, x, and y to solve for b. The slope of the line, m, through (x 1 , y 1 ) and (x 2 , y 2 ) is m = (y 2 – y 1 )/(x 2 – x 1 )
25 maj 2024 · To calculate coordinates, you need to have the source data such as the bearing and distance of lines connecting two or multiple points. As Excel only takes bearings in Radians, you should first convert the bearing readings into radians.
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.
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.
