Let x + y + k = 0 be an equation of the second line.
Thus,
| k 3 | 1 2 + 1 2 = 1 2 .

The slopes of the lines are 1. They make 45 with the negative x-axis. If the distance between the two lines is 1 2 , the difference between their y-intercepts should be 1 2 ÷ cos 45 . There are two possibilities. The second line may have a larger or a smaller y-intercept.
