Reduce the equation into intercept form3x+4y-12=0(i) Find the distance of the above line from the origin.(ii) Find the distance of the above line from the line. 6x+8y-18=0

3x + 4y = 12

Let the distance of this line from the origin be d.

Given line: 6x + 8y = 18

Or, 3x + 4y = 9

Let us first find the distance of the line 3x + 4y = 9 from origin.

Distance = 9/5 = 1.8

Therefore, the distance between 3x +4y = 12 and 3x + 4y = 9 is 2.4 - 1.8 = 0.6 units
