What is the distance between parallel lines whose equations are y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x – 3?

The distance is or .

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of parallel: 2

Slope of perpendicular: -1/2

Pick a point for y =2x + 7. For example (0,7)

Use the perpendicular slope to get to the other line to find the other point of y=2x-3. Look at the screenshot...I got (4,5).

Distance formula

Insert (0,7) and (4,5)

=

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
