The shortest distance from a point to a line
1. ) What is the shortest distance from a point to a line? Discuss and explain fully.
distance of a point from a line
2.) Move the line to have it with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 1
What is the slope of the perpendicular line segmant?
3.) Now move the perpendicular so that A is on the coodinate A(3,5)
The distance is shown BUT how can you calculate this distance on the coordinate plane? Explain and discuss
