Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

If the distance between parallel lines 3x + 4y +7 = 0 and ax + y + b = 0 is 1 , then sum of values of b is 

Moderate
Solution

Since lines are parallel, we have 34=a1

a=34

So, lines are 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 and 3x + 4y + 4b =0 Distance between lines = 1

|74b|32+42=17-4b=5 or 7-4b=-5  b=12,3
