Geometry Parallels and Distance
Lecture Description
In this lesson you are going to learn about parallel lines and distance. The distance from a line to a point not on the line is the length of the segment perpendicular to the line from the point. It is very important that the segment is perpendicular. We know that parallel lines never intersect. They are always going to have the same distance between them, no matter where you measure it from, so we say that they are equidistant. The distance between two parallel lines is the distance between one of the lines and any point on the other line.

Ms. Pyo,
How do you find the distance between equations? For example... Find the distance between the lines with the equations y= 2/7x + 4 and y= 2/7x -2. Can you please explain on how to solve problems like this. Thank you.
