The minimum distance from a point to a line can be thought of as a line. What I mean by that is, if we draw a line named $Bobbi$ and he must have the shortest possible height, then lil Bobbi’s feet must be perpendicular to the line.
You could, of course, calculate this by noticing Bobbi’s slope is -1 of the slope of the original line, and write some equations, and solve. BUT- this is going to take 8 bajillion years and you might as well use this formula.
\(d=\frac{|Ax_{1}+By_{1}+C|}{\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}}\)
P.S. The latex took me forever .,,
