If the equation of a line is y=4/3x+8 what is the equation of a line six away and parallel to the first line? It has to do something with being six away based off the length of the perpendicular.
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "y=4/3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "The problem is to determine how much to drop given equation so that the perpendicular distance from a parallel line is 6 units.
\n" ); document.write( "let x=distance y must be dropped
\n" ); document.write( "You can work with a right triangle in which this perpendicular distance is the opposite side of a right triangle whose tan of the opposite angle is 3/4, the slope of given straight line equation.
\n" ); document.write( "The sin of this angle is equal to 3/5.
\n" ); document.write( "sin of angle=3/5=6/x
\n" ); document.write( "x=10
\n" ); document.write( "Given equation should be dropped vertically 10 units
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:
\n" ); document.write( "Equation of a line six away and parallel to the first line: y=4x/3-2 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
