x = y, x = y +6
Both equations have the same slope. Yeah that's why they are parallel. x
Think x = 0
In first equation you get y also equals 0. But in second one when x=0, y = -6
So the space between them equals 6.

What is the distance of two parallel lines given the equations x=y and x=y+6


Distance between parallel lines with equations, y = x, and y = x - 6: sqrt%2818%29, or highlight_green%28highlight_green%283%2Asqrt%282%29%29%29

You can do the check!!
