The distance between the pair of parallel lines by the equations.

Answer to Problem 54SPR
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Find the distance between the pair of parallel lines with the given equations.
Calculation:
The given equations:
Find the value of
The slope of a line perpendicular to both the lines will be
To find the point of intersection of the perpendicular and the second line, solve the equations:
Use the value of
So, the point of intersection is
Use the distance formula to find the distance between the points
Therefore, the distance between the two lines is about
