1. Each block is 1 unit. Distance is 4 units.

2.Distance is 6 units.

3.This distance takes a little bit more work.

A line perpendicular to the parallel lines will have a slope that satisfies this relationship,

The equation of the line that has that slope and goes through point (0,2) (that is, intersects y=2x+2 at (0,2))is

This new line intersects line y=2x-3 at the following x,

with corresponding y,

Intersects at (2,1)

The distance between the lines equals the distance between (0,2) and (2,1).
