so they are parallel. write eqution of a line perpendicular to the lines. find where they intersect. find the distance between those pointsa

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

y=3/5x+2 y=3/5x-1 perpendicular line is y=-5/3x for example. y=-5/3x y=3/5x-1 y=3/5x+2 solve this system and then ths system y==-5/3x

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

x=-15/17--->y=25/17 for the first system
