Well! Let me explain it to you.

From any given point P(α,β) many lines can be drawn to any given line AB.

So, you will find a variety of distances from P to AB.

This leads to the thought : which is the shortest distance?

When you will see the diagram or calculate the distances, you will find that the perpendicular distance from P to AB is the shortest distance.
