write an equation for the locus of points equidistant from the lines whose equations are y=3x-4 and y=3x+10

OpenStudy (mertsj):

These are parallel lines so it would be a line parallel to these lines but half way between them.

OpenStudy (callisto):

y=3x+10 -(i) y=3x-4 -(ii) |dw:1338729682909:dw| As @Mertsj has mentioned, you have the slope of the equation (since it's the same slope as the other 2 lines) Since it's the midway of the 2 equations, you can find the two x-intercepts and find that mid point of the 2 intercepts. Now, you can get the slope, and a point... Use point-slope form to get the equation!~
