Pair of straight lines

Question

 The distance between the lines given by (x+7y)242=42(x+7y) is 

Moderate
Solution

The combined equation of the given lines are  x+7y2-42x+7y-42=0 Splitting as two equations  x+7y2-72x+7y+32x+7y-42=0  x+7yx+7y-72+32x+7y-72=0 x+7y-72x+7y+32=0

 The given lines are x+7y=72 and x+7y=32 . 

 Distance between lines =C2-C1a2+b2=|102|52=2
