find the distance between the pair of parallel lines y=x-6 and y=x+8
-----------------
The slope is the lines = 1 --> angles with the axes are 45 degs
--> a right triangle with 45, 45, 90 degs
The hypotenuse is the distance between the y-intercepts = 14
Side length = distance between the lines = 7sqrt%282%29
