Both these lines are linear and have the same slope, just different y-intercepts. This means one line is shifted higher than the other. y=x+8 is 14 units higher than y=x-6. The answer to you question therefore is 14 units!
If you would like to simplify this equation, the only thing that you can do is simplify the radical.

=

Since 3 appears twice, we can factor it out of the radical. This gives us our answer of:

Denominator must be equal to zero in order to find discontunities.
First subtract 19 from both sides then divide both sides by -4
p=2
