Determine the distance between the following pair of parallel lines:
4x + 3y – 11 = 0 and 8x + 6y = 15
Given: The parallel lines are
4x + 3y – 11 = 0 and 8x + 6y = 15
To find:
Distance between the givens parallel lines
Explanation:
The given parallel lines can be written as
4x + 3y − 11 = 0 … (1)
… (2)
Let d be the distance between the given lines.
Hence, distance between givens parallel line is
