The question of distance between two straight lines arises only when they are parallel. The given lines are parallel. If the equations of parallel lines are ax + by + c = 0 and ax + by + c' = 0, then the perpendicular distance between them is given by. p = l c - c' l / sqrt ( a^2 + b^2 )
Remember, parallel lines have the same slope. If you can find the slope of that parallel line, you'll have the slope of your line! In this tutorial, you'll see how to find the slope of your line and use that slope, along with the given point, to write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.emember, parallel lines have the same slope.
