Distance between a line and a point | Straight lines | Grade 11 | Math | Khan Academy

In this video, we find the distance between a given point and a line. We first look at a scenario where the point is at the opposite vertex from the origin on the rectangle formed by the intercepts. We then try finding the distance from a different point. We leverage the determinant formula for finding area in such scenarios. The rest of the process remains the same.
