How do I find the distance from the point (-5, 6) to the line using only the coordinates of the points? Click to expand... Determine the equation of the line through points (-10, -12) and (5, 3). Then calculate the perpendicular distance of the line from the point(-5,6). There are various methods to accomplish this. What method/s have you been taught?
