Perpendicular distance from a point to a line
Perpendicular distance from a point to a line
The distance from a point to a line is the shortest possible distance between the point and any point on the line. This distance is found by drawing a perpendicular line segment from the point to the line.
Perpendicular distance formula
Perpendicular distance formula
The formula to calculate the perpendicular distance from a point (x1, y1) to a line ax + by + c = 0 is given by: d = |ax1 + by1 + c| / √(a² + b²) where 'd' represents the perpendicular distance.
Sign of perpendicular distance
Sign of perpendicular distance
The distance from a point to a line can be either positive or negative. If the point lies on the same side of the line as the origin, the distance is considered positive. If the point lies on the opposite side, the distance is negative.

Study Notes
Introduction to Analytic Geometry
- Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies sizes, shapes, positions, angles, and dimensions of objects.
- It analyzes the properties and relationships of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher-dimensional analogues.
Branches of Geometry
- Analytic/Coordinate/Cartesian geometry
- Euclidean geometry
- Projective geometry
- Differential geometry
- Non-Euclidean geometry
- Topology
Analytic Geometry
- Focuses on studying functions geometrically, especially first- and second-degree functions, using graphs.
- Also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry.
- Uses coordinate systems to study geometry.
- Is fundamental to many modern fields like physics, engineering, aviation, rocket science, space science, and spaceflight.
Number Line
- A line used to represent positive and negative numbers.
- Typically starts at 0 (midpoint), extends to positive infinity on the right and negative infinity on the left, when arranged horizontally.
- A vertical number line exists as well.
Coordinate Systems
- Cartesian/Rectangular coordinate system
- Polar coordinate system
- Spherical coordinate system
Cartesian/Rectangular Coordinate System
- A 2-dimensional system for representing points on a plane.
- Uses two perpendicular lines (axes) to define the position of any point.
- Commonly known as the $x$-$y$ plane or the Euclidean 2-dimensional plane.
- The horizontal line is the x-axis and goes through the origin point.
- The vertical line is the y-axis and goes through the origin point.
- The origin is the point of intersection of the two axes, with coordinates (0,0).
- Any point in the plane can be described by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y) where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.
Polar Coordinate System
- A coordinate system that uses a single radial axis (r) and a single angular axis (θ).
- Locates a point P(r, θ) using the radius r (distance from the origin to the point) and the angle θ (measured in radians) between the positive x-axis and the line segment connecting the origin to the point.
Transformations Between Cartesian and Polar
- x = rcos θ
- y = rsin θ
- r = √x² + y²
- θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)
Spherical Coordinate System
- A 3-dimensional coordinate system.
- Determines the position of a point in 3D space based on its distance from the origin (r) and two angles, θ and φ.
- The point is represented by P(r, θ, φ).
- θ is the polar angle.
- φ is the azimuthal angle.
Distance Formula
- The distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is given by: |AB| = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
Examples
(various examples of calculations using the above concepts are given in the text)
The Midpoint of a Line Segment
- The midpoint of a line segment joining A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) has coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2), ((y₁ + y₂)/2).
Division of a Line Segment in a Given Ratio
- For internal and external division, coordinates of a point that divides the line segment joining two points can be determined using ratios.
The Gradient (Slope) of a Line Joining Two Points
- The gradient (m) of a line joining points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is given by: m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
The Equation of a Line
- Standard form: ax + by + c = 0
- Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c
- Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines have equal slopes.
- Any line parallel to a given one will have the same gradient.
Intersecting Lines
- The coordinates of the intersection point of two lines satisfy both equations.
- Solve the equations simultaneously to find the intersection point.
Perpendicular Lines
- The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is −1.
- If m₁ and m₂ are the slopes of two perpendicular lines, then m₁ * m₂ = −1.
The Acute Angle Between Two Lines
- The angle θ between two lines with slopes m₁ and m₂ is given by: tan(θ) = |(m₂ - m₁)/(1 + m₁m₂)|
The Distance from a Point to a Line
- The perpendicular distance from a point P(x₁, y₁) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by: d = |ax₁ + by₁ + c|/√(a² + b²)
The Circle
- A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center.
- The fixed distance is called the radius.
Equation of a Circle Centered at the Origin
- x² + y² = r²
Equation of a Circle with Center (a, b)
- (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
Tangents and Normals to a Circle
- A tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circumference of the circle at exactly one point, and is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
- A normal to a circle is a line perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
Length of a Tangent from an External Point to a Circle
- The length of a tangent from an external point to a circle can be found using the distance formula and the radius of the circle.
Conditions for a Line to be Tangential to a Circle
- A line is tangent to a circle if and only if its distance from the center is equal to the circle’s radius.
Point(s) of Intersection of a Circle and a Line
- Solve the equation of the line and the circle simultaneously to get the intersection point(s)
- If only one point of intersection is found, the line is tangent to the circle.
The Locus of a Point
- A locus is the set of all points satisfying a given geometric condition.
Conic Sections
- Parabola
- Ellipse
- Hyperbola
- Conic is a locus of a moving point whose distance from a fixed point (focus) bears a constant ratio to its distance from a fixed line (directrix) called the eccentricity.
The Parabola
- The set of all points equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a fixed line (directrix).
The Ellipse
- The set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant.
The Hyperbola
- The set of all points in a plane such that the absolute value of the difference of the distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant.
Parametric Equations
- Parametric equations for a parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola express the coordinates (x, y) in terms of a parameter.
