    It all depends on the range of what one would consider geometry. I think that any definition or theorem around right angles is...

    Which expression? Can you answer my question from the previous post?

    I'd expect linear algebra and trigonometry there. Well, some trigonometric properties of triangles might be helpful, but together with...

    How do I know the b expression is Zero? I have no starting point to plot points from if all I have is -\dfrac{4}{3}

    Isn't mechanical engineering full of classical geometry? I cannot imagine building a bridge and calculating the static without it.

    Not sure how to interpret this statement. But general equation for non-vertical lines is y=ax+b. What do you get for y(0) in the general...

    Besides Pythagoras I haven't noticed much dependency, sorry. But I'd be interested to hear about counterexamples.

    Oh. So if the b expression is absent, that is the same as it equaling Zero? And that is where we plot our next two points from.

    You don't. But you can see in the graph that y(0) = 0, and you can safely assume that the graph is a straight line. Finding another...

    How do I assume that x = 0? I'm not seeing the rise/run in this.
