---
y=x-9
y=x-7
---
put the equations into standard form: ax + by + c = 0
---
x-y-9=0
x-y-7=0
---
where:
a = 1
b = -1
c1 = -9
c2 = -7
---
distance between parallel lines:
---
d = abs(c2 - c1)/sqrt( aa + bb )
d = abs(-7 - -9)/sqrt( 1 + 1 )
d = abs(-7 + 9)/sqrt( 2 )
d = abs(2)/sqrt( 2 )
d = 2/sqrt( 2 )
d = 2sqrt( 2 )/sqrt( 2 )sqrt( 2 )
d = 2sqrt( 2 )/2
d = sqrt( 2 )
d ~= 1.414213562373095
