Explanation of Solution
Given:
Lines:
Solution:
When the slope of parallel lines are equal, the distance between them is calculated by using given formula below:
So,
From the given description,
The slope of both lines is equal,
i.e.,
And,
Therefore,
Distance between parallel lines,
So, the distance between the parallel lines is 15.
