Distance between Parallel Lines
• Two parallel lines are equidistant from each other. The
distance between two parallel lines is the distance between
one of the lines and any point on the other line

• Theorem – In a plane, if two lines are
equidistance from a third, then the two lines
are parallel to each other

Distance between two lines
• Find the distance between the parallel lines l and m whose
equations are y = -1/3x -3 and y = -1/3x+ 1/3 respectively.
1. Draw perpendicular line
2. Find the point where the two lines
cross.
3. Calculate Distance between points
• Solve system of equations
• Write equation for line perpendicular
passing through line
• m = 3, point (0, -3)
• y – y1 = m (x – x1)
• y –(-3)=3(x – 0)
• y +3 = 3x
• y = 3x - 3
Find the intersection of the two lines or the solution to the system
of equations
y = 3x – 3 and y = -1/3x+ 1/3
Substitute for y
3x – 3 = -1/3x+ 1/3
+1/3 x + 3 = +1/3x +3
3 1/3x = 3 1/3
x=1
Substitute x into either equation
y = 3(1) – 3
y=0

y = 2x +3 and y = 2x – 3
m = -1/2 point (0, -3)
y – (-3) = -1/2(x – 0)
y + 3 = -1/2x
y = -1/2x -3 and y = 2x + 3
-1/2x -3 = 2x + 3
+1/2x - 3 + 1/2x - 3
