Distance between points on specified axis?

Let me explain this with the picture: [Untitled-1.jpg] How to get distance between these vectors, but only along specified axis? So it would return a distance just like if they were ON this axis. I’m working on 3D Vectors, but this is a 2D example, just for simplicity.

Distance along an axis?

Hello, I’m trying to get the distance along an axis, but can’t figure it out. For example, if my player (blue star) is approaching a finish line (the red dot being it’s pivot point), how can I get the distance from that line, along it’s proper axis? The player can be in the center of the road, off to the side, or a million miles in the sky. All that matters is far away he is from that point, along it’s facing axis. Any ideas? Thanks!
