Question 1057112: Find the distance between the lines with the equations 3x+2y=14 and y=-3/2x-1/2
a.) Write the y-intercept of the first line, 3x+2y=14 as an ordered pair: ( , ) This will be the (x1,y1) you will use in the distance formula.
b.) Use (x1,y1) to write the equation of your perpendicular segment in slope intercept form. Fractions only. No decimals at this point.
c.) Give the point, (x2,y2) where your perpendicular segment intersects with the second line, y=-3/2x-1/2:
( , )
d.) Find the distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
There would be no limit to the gratitude given to the person who would help me with this.
