The trigonometry equation to calculate the distance and to indicate on which side of the line the point is located would be as follows:

ptA - starting point
ptB - ending point
ptG - point to test
distance = GISUtils.GisLine2Point(ptA, ptB, ptG)
res = (ptG.Y - ptA.Y) *(ptB.X - ptA.X) * (ptG.X - ptA.X) * (ptB.Y -ptA.Y)

if res > 0 then point is on the left
if res = 0 then point is in-line
if res < 0 then point is on the right
