Question
Y-axis and line x = – 4 are parallel lines. What is the distance between them?

Answer

Equation of Y-axis is x = 0.
Equation of the line parallel to the Y-axis is x = – 4. … [Given]
∴ Distance between the Y-axis and the line x = – 4 is 0 – (- 4) … [0 > -4]
= 0 + 4 = 4 units
∴ The distance between the Y-axis and the line x = – 4 is 4 units.
[Note: The question is modified as X-axis cannot be parallel to the line x = – 4.]
