What is the distance between parallel lines whose equations are y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x – 3?
1 answer:
Answer:
The distance is or
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of parallel: 2
Slope of perpendicular: -1/2
Pick a point for y =2x + 7. For example (0,7)
Use the perpendicular slope to get to the other line to find the other point of y=2x-3. Look at the screenshot...I got (4,5).
Distance formula
Insert (0,7) and (4,5)

By definition of absolute value, you have
or more simply,
On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.
For <em>x</em> > -1, we have
(<em>x</em> + 1)<em>'</em> = 1
while for <em>x</em> < -1,
(-<em>x</em> - 1)<em>'</em> = -1
More concisely,
Note the strict inequalities in the definition of <em>f '(x)</em>.
In order for <em>f(x)</em> to be differentiable at <em>x</em> = -1, the derivative <em>f '(x)</em> must be continuous at <em>x</em> = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of <em>x</em> = -1 for the derivative do not match:
All this to say that <em>f(x)</em> is differentiable everywhere on its domain, <em>except</em> at the point <em>x</em> = -1.
