Find the distance between parallel lines
(i) 15x + 8y – 34 = 0 and 15x + 8y + 31 = 0
(ii) l(x + y) + p = 0 and l (x + y) – r = 0



Answer -

(i) 15x + 8y – 34 = 0 and 15x + 8y + 31 = 0

Given:

The parallel lines are 15x + 8y – 34 = 0 and 15x + 8y + 31 =0.

By using the formula,

The distance (d) between parallel lines Ax + By + C1 =0 and Ax + By + C2 = 0 is given by

 The distance between parallel lines is 65/17

(ii) l(x + y) + p = 0 and l (x + y) – r = 0

Given:

The parallel lines are l (x + y) + p = 0 and l (x + y) – r =0.

lx + ly + p = 0 and lx + ly – r = 0

by using the formula,

The distance (d) between parallel lines Ax + By + C1 =0 and Ax + By + C2 = 0 is given by

 The distance between parallel lines is |p+r|/l√2
