Also defined as The distance between two parallel lines Perpendicular distance between them. It is the length of the line segment that is perpendicular to the line and passes through the point. D Ax 1 By 1 C A 2 B 2 ½.
Distance from a point to a line in space formula.
The distance between parallel lines is the shortest distance from any point on one of the lines to the other line. P directing vector of line l M 1 x1 y1 z1 - coordinates of point on line l then distance between point M 0 x0 y0 z0 and line l can be found using the following formula. D Ax 1 By 1 C A 2 B 2 ½. What is the point of B.
