There is two possible conic section that can be formed when the plane intersects the vertical axis, a circle, and an ellipse. Cutting one nappe of double napped cone perpendicular to the vertical axis means the cut is straight across the cone making a right angle. The conic section formed would be a circle.
The equation of the line has the form: y = ax+b parallel to the line y = -2x + 7
=> a= -2
Passes through (4,1) => x=4, y=1
Substituting into the equation:
1= -2x(4) + b => b= 9
=> y= -2x + 9
Answer:
-x/6+0
