    :approve: I should have just started with that route for this idea. oh well.

    Graduate Distance from a point to a line defined in R^N

    Hmmm. Okay. I definitely got it. Thanks for your help. For some reason I was thinking that the cross product would be the only way to go and I forgot completely about the pretty little dot product. So I just found the projection of (y - x) on f and subtracted that from (y - x), so simple that I...

    Graduate Distance from a point to a line defined in R^N

    \frac{}{}Hello, I've been trying to search for a general description for the Euclidean distance from a point to a line formula in \mathbb{R}^n. This line is assumed to be a straight line where a directional vector f \in \mathbb{R}^n is constant and known, and a constant point on the line is...
