Find the distance between parallel lines

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

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


(i) 15x + 8y – 34 = 0

and 15x + 8y + 31 = 0

Now A = 15, B = 8, C1 = -34, C2 =31

Distance between parallel lines d =

                                              =

                                              =

(ii) l(x – y) + p = 0

lx + ly - r = 0

Now A = l, B = l, C1 = p, C2 = -r

Distance between parallel lines d =

                                              = = =
