A line is the shortest distance between two points.
I can't understand what this question asks, but it seems to be asking for that particular answer.

Is the shortest distance from a point to a line the distance measured along the perpindicular from the point to the line?
Yes.
The shortest distance form a point to a straight line is?
Its perpendicular distance.
What is the shortest distance between a point and a line?
The length of a line segment that starts at the point and is perpendicular to the original line.
Is the shortest point of a distance measured along the perpendicular segments from the point to the line?
No it is measured from the edge
What is the shortest distance from a point to a line?
10000-40-0-0-1 meter
What is the shortest distance to get from one point to another?
The shortest distance is displacement and total distance is length.
What is the shortest distance between four points?
The shortest distance between four points is a straight line to and from each individual point. If all four points are aligned, the result will be a single straight line through all four points.
What is a good description of the phrase resultant displacement?
The shortest distance from the beginning point to the end point.The shortest distance from the beginning point to the end point.
What is distance distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
What is the shortest path between a line and a point not on that line?
The shortest path is a line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.
What is the definition of distance from point to line?
It the point is on the line the distance is 0. If the point is not on the line, then it is possible to draw a unique line from the point to the line which is perpendicular to the line. The distance from the point to the line is the distance along this perpendicular to the line.
What is the distance between two points?
In plane geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a line. In spherical geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a segment of a great circle. The distance between one point and another is known as the displacement.
