Find the distance between 2x + y + 4 = 0 and 2x + y + 8 = 0: - Vidyadip

MCQ

Find the distance between $2x + y + 4 = 0$ and $2x + y + 8 = 0:$

✓
$\frac{4}{\sqrt5}$
B
$\frac{3}{\sqrt5}$
C
$\frac{9}{\sqrt5}$
D
$\frac{3}{\sqrt5}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{4}{\sqrt5}$

Distance between parallel lines $ax + by + c_1 = 0$ and $ax + by + c_2 = 0$ is $\mid\frac{\text{c}_{1}-\text{c}_{2}}{\sqrt{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2}}\mid$
So, distance $2x + y + 4 = 0$ and $2x + y + 8 = 0$ is $\mid\frac{8-4}{\sqrt2^2+1^2}\mid=\frac{4}{\sqrt5}$
