To find the perpendicular distance from a given point to a given line, find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line which passes through the given point. Then the distance can be calculated as the distance from the given point to the point of intersection of the two lines, which can be calculated by using Pythagoras on the Cartesian coordinates of the two points. A line in the form y = mx + c has gradient m. If a line has gradient m, the line perpendicular to it has gradient m' such that mm' = -1, ie m' = -1/m (the negative reciprocal of the gradient). A line through a point (x0, y0) with gradient m has equation: y - yo = m(x - x0) Thus the equation of the line through (5, 7) that is perpendicular to 3x - y + 2 = 0 can be found. The intercept of this line with 3x - y + 2 = 0 can be calculated as there are now two simultaneous equations. → The perpendicular distance from (5, 7) to the line 3x - y + 2 = 0 is the distance form (5, 7) to this point of interception, calculated via Pythagoras: distance = √((change_in_x)^2 + (change_in_y)^2) This works out to be √10 ≈ 3.162
