  1. 3.6 Perpendiculars and Distance

  2. Key Concept • 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. • The distance between two parallel lines is the distance between one of the lines and any point on the other line.

  3. Theorem • Theorem 3.9 – In a plane, if two lines are equidistant from a third line, then the two lines are parallel to each other.

  4. Examples 1. Find the distance from line s y = -x and V(1, 5)

  5. 2. Find the distance between the parallel lines a and b whose equations are y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x – 3 respectively.
