You just have to substitute values of slope and vertical distance in formula and get value of horizontal distance. Similarly, any one of them can be found if other two are given. For instance, if you have a slope given in Percentage as 10 % and a vertical distance of 50 feet, then equation will look like:
The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a point to a 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. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.nowing the shortest distance from a point to a line can be useful in various situationsâfor example, finding the shortest distance to reach a road, quantifying the scatter on a graph, etc.
