Question
- find the distance between the two parallel lines:
$y = -2x + 4$
$y = -2x + 14$
- find the value of x and y.
$(13y)^circ$
$(8y+75)^circ$
$(2x+34)^circ$
Problem 31: Distance between parallel lines
Step1: Rewrite in standard form
For $y=-2x+4$: $2x + y - 4 = 0$
For $y=-2x+14$: $2x + y - 14 = 0$
Step2: Apply distance formula
Use $d=\frac{|C_1-C_2|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}$ where $Ax+By+C_1=0$, $Ax+By+C_2=0$
$d=\frac{|-4 - (-14)|}{\sqrt{2^2+1^2}}=\frac{|10|}{\sqrt{5}}$
Step3: Simplify the expression
$\frac{10}{\sqrt{5}} = 2\sqrt{5}$
Problem 32: Solve for x and y
Step1: Set up equation for y
Supplementary angles sum to $180^\circ$: $13y + 8y + 75 = 180$
Step2: Solve for y
$21y = 180 - 75 = 105$
$y=\frac{105}{21}=5$
Step3: Set up equation for x
Corresponding angles are equal: $2x + 34 = 13y$
Step4: Substitute y=5, solve for x
$2x + 34 = 13\times5=65$
$2x=65-34=31$
$x=\frac{31}{2}=15.5$
