Difference in slope and distance between differential regression lines due to polymorphism

Difference t p value
b1 − b2 0.052 0.302 0.763
d 0.195 0.208 0.836

Given two simple linear regression lines (y1 = a1 + b1x1, y2 = a2 + b2x2), one of which is for subjects without the Arg allele and the other is for subjects with the Arg allele

b− b2, the difference between the two slopes, d, the distance between two regression lines in the case of the two regression lines being parallel
