Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0\cdot 3\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given parallel lines are
\(3 x+4 y=9 \Rightarrow 6 x+8 y=18\) and \(6 x+8 y=15\)
Distance between them is
\(d=\left|\frac{c_{1}-c_{2}}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}\right|=\frac{|18-15|}{\sqrt{36+64}}=\frac{3}{10}=0.3\)
