The question given is quite vague and unclear but in general perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles which is 90 degrees.

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.
What is the perpendicular distance from the point 4 -2 to the straight line of 2x -y -5 equals 0?
Perpendicular equation: x+2y = 0 Point of intersection: (2, -1) Perpendicular distance: square root of 5
Includes distance and direction of the stopping point from the starting point?
Displacement includes the distance between the starting and ending points and the direction in which you travel.
What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
What do you calculate to find a moment?
force x perpendicular distance from a specific, defined point
Can distance and displacement be negative?
Yes, distance and displacement can be negative. Negative distance occurs when an object moves in the opposite direction from the reference point, while negative displacement indicates a change in position in the opposite direction of the reference point.
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.
What feature of a distance time graph represents the direction of motion?
The slope of a distance-time graph represents the direction of motion. A positive slope indicates motion in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A horizontal line represents no motion.
The shortest distance form a point to a straight line is?
Its perpendicular distance.
Which of these is equal to the distance from a point to a line?
the length of a perpendicular segment from the point to the line
How can you find the moments about any point?
Multiply each force acting on the object by its perpendicular distance from the point. Add all these together, making sure that the ones acting in a clockwise direction have the opposite sign to those acting in the counter-clockwise direction.
What is the perpendicular distance from the point 4 -2 to the straight line of 2x -y -5 equals 0?
Perpendicular equation: x+2y = 0 Point of intersection: (2, -1) Perpendicular distance: square root of 5
What is the perpendicular bisector theorem?
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.
The distance from a point C to the line AB is the length of the segment from C to AB?
That is correct. The distance from a point C to a line AB is the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from point C to line AB. This forms a right angle, creating a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. The length of this perpendicular segment is the shortest distance from the point to the line.
What is 5900 million miles from the sun?
In which direction? IN the direction perpendicular to the planetary plane it is just plain space. Even in the planetary plane, any point at a distance of 5900 million miles from the sun is empty most of the time.
Is the shortest point of a distance measured along the perpendicular segments from the point to the line?
No it is measured from the edge
What is radial direction?
the direction of OP is call radial direction of the moving point p while the direction of OQ which is perpendicular to OP in the sense of (theta)angle is called transverse direction of the moving point P.
