The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.

It is used for fishing, seashell collecting and other beach-based recreation. [2]
The most common cost distance task is to determine the single path through the space between a given source location and a destination location that has the least total accumulated cost. The typical solution algorithm is a discrete raster implementation of the cost integration strategy of Warntz and Lindgren, [ 5 ] which is a deterministic ( NP ...
