The length of the new line, between the given point and the newly-found intersection point, is the distance between the point and the original line. To find the distance, subtract the x and y values to get the x and y displacements. Therefore, there is no specific equation!

The minimum distance from the point to the line would be found by drawing a segment perpendicular to the line directly to the point. Our first step is to find the equation of the new line that connects the point to the line given in the problem. Because we know this new line is perpendicular to the line we're finding the distance

Multiplying decimals:

First, multiply like a normal number.
64 × 37 = 2368

Add up the number of decimal points from your original numbers to find out where you should put the decimal point on your result.
6.4 has one decimal place, and -3.7 has one decimal place.
Our result should have two decimal places. (1+1)

23.68

Because we multiplied by a negative number, our result should be negative, too.
