Question

Determine the distance between the pair of parallel lines:

4x − 3y − 9 = 0 and 4x − 3y − 24 = 0

Short/Brief Note

Solution

The parallel lines are

4x − 3y − 9 = 0            ... (1)

4x − 3y − 24 = 0          ... (2)

Let d be the distance between the given lines.

\[\Rightarrow d = \left| \frac{- 9 + 24}{\sqrt{4^2 + \left( - 3 \right)^2}} \right| = \frac{15}{5} = 3\]  units
