You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equations of two lines are 2x – y + 3 = 0 and 4x – 2y – 8 = 0. Find the horizontal distance and vertical distance between the two lines.
-------------------
2x – y = -3
2x – y = 4 (2nd eqn divided by 2)
--------
y-int of 1st eqn = 3
y-int of 2nd = -4
Vertical distance = 7
------------------
x-int of 1st = -1.5
x-int of 2nd = 2
Horiz distance = 3.5
