Solution

Determine between parallel lines

ax+by+c1=0 and ax+by+c2=0 is

c2c1a2+b2

(i) 4x3y9=0 and 4x3y24=0

Distance between the two parallel lines is:

24(9)42+32=24+95

=3 units

(ii) Distance between 8x+15y34=0 and 8x+15y+31=0 is 343182+152=6517 units

(iii) Distance between y=mx+c and y=mx+d is cdm2+1

(iv) Distance between 4x+3y11=0 and 8x+6y=15 is 111542+32=710 units.
