Explanation Formula used: Slope: The slope m of a line passing through the points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) is given by m = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1 . Slope-intercept form: The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line with y -intercept b and slope m is given by y = m x + b . Calculation: Let the intercept of the line be b . Given that triangle is formed with an axis and the line y = 2 . Then the vertices of a triangles will be ( 0 , 2 ) , ( 0 , b ) and ( 3 , 2 ) . Note that, a line that goes up in the left direction will have a negative slope and a line that goes up in the right direction will have a positive slope. Therefore, the slope will be positive only if b < 2 The above vertices form a right triangle with legs measuring 3 and 2 − b . It is given that area of a triangle is 12

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.
