Solved Example-Distance of a Point from a Line, whose end Co-ordinates are given.

Hi,

Problem:
The X and Y coordinates(in meters) of station Shore are 246.87 and 659.46 respectively, and those for station Rock are 437.85 and 973.48, respectively. The azimuth, bearing, and length of the line connecting station Shore to station Rock are 31d,18 m, 24 s,  N31 d18 m 24s E, and 367.540 m, respectively.
What is the perpendicular distance of a point from the line if the X and Y coordinates of the point are 414.278 and 959.083, respectively?
