Find the line which contains (0,0) and has slope \"3%2F4\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-0=%283%2F4%29%28x-0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F4%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The general point (x,(3/4)x ).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want to find the point on that line which is 2 units from (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%28x-0%29%5E2%2B%28%283%2F4%29x-0%29%5E2%29=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28x%5E2%2B9x%5E2%2F4%29\"=2
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Asqrt%281%2B9%2F4%29=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Asqrt%2813%2F4%29=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F2%29sqrt%2813%29=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4%2Fsqrt%2813%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Corresponding y value is (3/4)(4/sqrt(13))
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3%2Fsqrt%2813%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That will be part of one possible answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are looking for a line with that point just found with the equation member of \"4x%2B3y\" because you are looking for the line PARALLEL to the given line. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%284x%2B3y=4%28%284%2Fsqrt%2813%29%29%29%2B3%28%283%2Fsqrt%2813%29%29%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "That needs to be simplified in order to be completely finished.
