Determine the distance between the following pair of parallel lines:

8x + 15y – 34 = 0 and 8x + 15y + 31 = 0

Given: The parallel lines are


8x + 15y 34 = 0 … (1)


8x + 15y + 31 = 0 … (2)


To find:


Distance between the givens parallel lines


Explanation:


Let d be the distance between the given lines.



Hence, distance between givens parallel line is
