Question

I believe this is a concept question but honestly I am very lost if steps could be given too 

Distance from a point to a line and to a plane.
(a) Let Po = (x0, Yo) E R² be a point and let L be the line Ax + By +C = 0. Show that the distance
form Po to L, d(Po,L) is given by:
%3D
|Axo + Byo + C|
VA² + B²
d(Po, L) =
(b) Let Po = (0, Yo, zo) E R be a point and let L be the line Ax + By +Cz+D = 0. Show that the
distance form Po to L, d(Po, L) is given by:
|Aco + Byo + Czo + D|
VA² + B² + C2
d(Po, L) =

Expert Solution
Step 1

“Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.”

 

Let L be the line Ax+By+C=0 and point P0x0,y02.  We have to show the distance from point P0 to line L is dP0,L=Ax0+By0+CA2+B2.
