Line 11:

:<math>y = mx+b_2\,,</math>

the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two interceptsintersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line

:<math>y = -x/m \, ,</math>

Line 29:

\end{cases}</math>

to get the coordinates of the interceptintersection points. The solutions to the linear systems are the points

:<math>\left( x_1,y_1 \right)\ = \left( \frac{-b_1m}{m^2+1},\frac{b_1}{m^2+1} \right)\, ,</math>
