The distance between these 2 lines is the perpendicular line drawn to both lines
\n" );
document.write( "Slope of perpendicular line to y = 4x + 4 or y = 4x - 4: 
\n" );
document.write( "1) Using this slope and point (0, 4), determine the equation of the line that's equidistant from these 2 lines
\n" );
document.write( "2) Determine the point at which the perpendicular line intersects the line: y = 4x - 4
\n" );
document.write( "3) With the two coordinate points where the perpendicular line intersects both lines, use the distance formula to find the distance between the 2 lines
\n" );
document.write( "4) You should get distance as: 1.938501 ≈  (CHOICE c) \n" );
