Distance from specific point to line

This function lets the user calculate the mathematical linear distance Between a specific point and a line (given geometrical 3 points)

Usage

dist2d(x, a = c(0, 0), b = c(1, 1))

Arguments

x

Vector. Coordinates of the point from which we want to measure the distance

a

Vector. Coordinates of 1st point over the line

b

Vector. Coordinates of 2st point over the line

Value

Numeric value result

Examples

dist2d(x = c(5, 2))
#> [1] 2.12132
dist2d(x = c(5, 2), a = c(0, 0), b = c(0, 1))
#> [1] 5
dist2d(x = c(5, 2), a = c(0, 0), b = c(1, 0))
#> [1] 2
