What is the definition of distance from point to line?
It the point is on the line the distance is 0. If the point is not on the line, then it is possible to draw a unique line from the point to the line which is perpendicular to the line. The distance from the point to the line is the distance along this perpendicular to the line.
Can a line and a point be collinear?
Yes, a line and a point can be on the same line. A point can be placed on a line. It will then be collinear.
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
What are facts about a line point?
There is no such thing as a line point.
How do you find a point lying on the line?
Substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the result is true, then the point is on the line.
How do you determine if a point lies on the same line?
A point lies on a line if the coordinates of the point satisfy the equation of the line.
Is a line and point collinear?
If the point is not on the line, then no they are not collinear. But if that point is on the line, then they are collinear. Points on the same line are collinear. Points not on the same line are not collinear or non collinear.
Do a line and point intersect?
Not always. Only if the point is on the line. it
What part of a line can be named by its end point?
A point on the line.
What is true of a line and point not on the line?
The line and the point define a plane.
What is the shortest path between a line and a point not on that line?
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
How do write an equation of a line when given the slope a point of the line?
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
