  2. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems

  3. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

    the distance between the two lines can be found by locating two points (one on each line) that lie on a common perpendicular to the parallel lines and calculating the distance between them. Since the lines have slope m, a common perpendicular would have slope −1/m and we can take the line with equation y = −x/m as a common perpendicular ...

  4. Perpendicular distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_distance

    Nearest distance between skew lines, for the perpendicular distance between two non-parallel lines in three-dimensional space Perpendicular regression fits a line to data points by minimizing the sum of squared perpendicular distances from the data points to the line.

  5. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular

    Nearest distance between skew lines, for the perpendicular distance between two non-parallel lines in three-dimensional space Perpendicular regression fits a line to data points by minimizing the sum of squared perpendicular distances from the data points to the line.

    To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

  8. Clifford parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_parallel

    Clifford's original definition was of curved parallel lines, but the concept generalizes to Clifford parallel objects of more than one dimension. [2] In 4-dimensional Euclidean space Clifford parallel objects of 1, 2, 3 or 4 dimensions are related by isoclinic rotations.

  9. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    Two distinct planes are either parallel or they intersect in a line. A line is either parallel to a plane, intersects it at a single point, or is contained in the plane. Two distinct lines perpendicular to the same plane must be parallel to each other. Two distinct planes perpendicular to the same line must be parallel to each other.
