The equation of the straight line passing through (-5.4) and which makes an intercept of

2/√5

units between the lines x + 2y + 1 = 0 and x + 2y - 1 = 0 , is

Solution:

Since the given lines are parallel and distance between them is

2/√5

so, the required line is perpendicular to

x+2y +1= 0

,Hence required equation

2(x+5)-(y-4)=0

⇒2x-y + 14 = 0
