Don't ask us!!
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
A perpendicular to the line which passes through the given point.
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
Yes (in a Euclidean plane)..
It's the theorem that says " One and only one perpendicular can be drawn from a point to a line. "
Two points determine a line. Also there is one and only line perpendicular to given line through a given point on the line,. and There is one and only line parallel to given line through a given point not on the line.

Playfair Axiom
The Playfair Axiom (or "Parallel Postulate")
upon itself
Substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the equation is still valid then the point is on the line; if not then it is not.
