The answer is
inches
Step 1. Subtract length of the door from the width of the door:
Step 2. You want the same space to be on each side of the bar. So, divide the difference from step 1 by 2:
Lets check the first point (0,6)
3*0+4=4 no good
0+6 =6 good
0^2+6 =6 good
6 * (7/6) ^0 =6 good
Lets check the second point (1,7)
3*1+4= we don't care since it didn't work for (0,6)
1+6 =7
1^2+6 =7
6 * (7/6) ^1 =7
Lets check the third point (2,10)
3x+4= we still don't care
2+6 = 8 no good
2^2+6 =10 good
6 * (7/6) ^2 =6 * 49/36 =49/6 no good
f(x) = x^2 +6
A, Is the answer according to my calculations.
Moving from a to b, the x component of the desired vector is 7-(-9) = 16, and
the y component is 3-9 = -6.
So the vector from a to b is <16,-6>, and the magnitude is
sqrt(16^2 + (-6)^2 ), applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
