The slope of the line passing through the points A(a, b), and B(c, d), is given by 
                               \displaystyle{ m=\frac{d-b}{c-a},

thus, the slope of the line through <span>points (p, a) and (p, –a) is 

                               </span>\displaystyle{ m=\frac{-a-a}{p-p}=\frac{-2a}{0}.

When applying the slope formula results in division by zero, this means that the line is a vertical line.

This could have also been noticed directly, since the line contains 2 points with the same x-coordinate. 

The equation of this line is x=p, since the x-coordinate is always p, no matter what y is.

If p=0, then the equation of the line is x=0, which is the y-axis itself. In this case, the y-intercept is the whole y-axis.

Answer: The whole y-axis.

The expression that represent the area of the cut off part is 81π / 4

<h3>How to find area?</h3>

The area of the cut off part can be found as follows:

Area of a circle = πr²

where

  • r = radius

Therefore, the cut off part is like 1 / 4th of a circle.

Hence,

area of the cut off region = πr² / 4

r = 9 inches

area of the cut off region =  π9² / 4

area of the cut off region = 81π / 4
