Could someone explain the concept of “mod” to me?

A=3, B=-4, C=-26

d=[ |C1-C2|]/[sqrt(A^2+B^2)]

How do I calculate the numerator?

Mode basically means that it will convert the value inside it into a positive value.

if x = 3, and y = 5, then x -y = -3 , but | x -y | = 3

The formula d you had used is to find the distance between the two parallel lines .

Distance will always be positive.

so even if C1-C2 is negative " I C1-C2 I is positive.

I -2 I = 2

I 2 I = 2
Hope it helps you
