Question

Find the distance between each pair of parallel lines with the given equations.

1) y = -2
y = 4

2) x = 3
x =7

3) y = 5x - 22
y = 5x + 4

Answer 1

1) 4-(-2) = 6
2) 7-3 = 4
3) 4-(-22) = 26
*for number 3, it was only possible to do simple math for this one because the slope is the same. If the slope were different it wouldn't be as simple*
