Determine the distance between the following pair of parallel lines: `y=m x+c\ a n d\ y=m x+d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The parallel lines can be written as `mx − y + c = 0 …` (1)
`mx − y + d = 0 …` (2)
Let d be the distance between the given lines.
`=>d =(c−d)/sqrt(m^2+1)`
Hence, distance between givens parallel line is `(c−d)/sqrt(m^2+1)`
