a.
Write the distance
a.
Answer to Problem 93E
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The slope and
Let the line be called as
So, using slope-intercept form straight line we get equation of
Let
Using formula for distance between a point and a line we get,
So we get the distance

b.
Answer to Problem 93E
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The graph below show
c.
Find the slope that yields the maximum distance between the origin and the line
c.
Answer to Problem 93E
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
As we can see from above graph that maximum value of
So, the maximum distance between the line and origin is
d.
Find the asymptote of the graph in part
d.
Answer to Problem 93E
As
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
As we can see from graph in part
So the line
In the context of the problem, we can see that as
Hence, as
