Lines

Sorry to bother you guys >__<

Find the following distances between the parallel lines

3x+2y=12 and 3x+12y= -14


The horizontal distance

THe vertical distance

The shortest distance


I dunno how to find these distances


OMG THANKS A MILLION! T___T I would've never survived w/o your help

those are not parallel lines.

Oops i meant 3x+2y= -14

FIXED

Use the formula from the other post to compute the shortest distance (i.e perpendicular distance) or . To find the vertical distance, choose a point on each line that has the same x-coordinate (then use the formula ). Likewise, for the horizontal distance, choose a point on each line that has the same y-coordinate (then use the formula . Really, are the easiest choices.
