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.
A midpoint is a point. It's the point exactly halfway between the endsof a line segment.A perpendicular bisector is a line. It's the line that passes through themidpoint of the segment, and is perpendicular to the segment.
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.
The x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is 0. The y-axis is a line perpendicular to the x-axis. Any point on a line perpendicular to the x-axis has the same x-coordinate. The y-axis is the line perpendicular to the x-axis through 0, and has the equation x = 0; similarly, the x-axis is the line perpendicular to the y-axis through 0 and has the equation y = 0.
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
The perpendicular postulate states that if there is a line, as well as a point that is not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.
That would depend on its slope which has not been given.
Fold the paper along the line. Fold the paper again so that the first fold is folded onto itself and such that the second fold goes through a specified point - if any. The second fold will represent a line that is perpendicular to the first and which passes through the specified point.

upon itself
You can construct a parallel to a line through a point not on the line. (perpendicular line segment)
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
You construct a line perpendicular to the original and then a line perpendicular to this second line.
