Distance between two parallel line is given by the algorithm $$\left| c1-c2\div \sqrt{a ^{2}+ b ^{2}} \right|$$

anonymous · Answer

let me give you a hint, the answer will be in square root.
:)

anonymous · Answer

lol thanks tht narrows it down

anonymous · Answer

wat does c1 and c2 stand for? what do i plug in there?

anonymous · Answer

your most welcome...
and remember since both the lines are parallel the value of a and b in both the equation will always be the SAME!!!

anonymous · Answer

c1 is the constant of the first equation and c2 s the constant of second equation..
since your using modulus,i.e,absolute value of it..
IT doesn't matter which equation you choose as first or second..
