Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the distance between the parallel lines \(3x - 4y + 9 = 0\) and \(6x - 8y - 15 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Confirm that the lines are parallel To check if the lines are parallel, we need to compare their slopes. The general form of a line is given by \(Ax + By + C = 0\). The slope of the line is given by \(-\frac{A}{B}\). For the first line \(3x - 4y + 9 = 0\): - Here, \(A_1 = 3\) and \(B_1 = -4\). - The slope \(m_1 = -\frac{3}{-4} = \frac{3}{4}\). ...
