The distance between the parallel lines

y = x + a,\;y = x + b

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\frac{{\left| {b - a} \right|}}{{\sqrt 2 }}

The correct answer is A (|b - a|/√2) because the distance between two parallel lines is calculated using the formula.

\left\{ {a{t_1}{t_2},\;a\left( {{t_1} + {t_2})\} ,\{ a{t_2}{t_3},a({t_2} + {t_3}} \right)} \right\},\;\left\{ {a{t_3}{t_1},\;a\left( {{t_3} + {t_1}} \right)} \right\}

y = 2\;x + 4

x+3 y=7

\left( {{x^2} + 7xy + 2{y^2}} \right)\left( {y - 1} \right) = 0
