Coefficient 81704

In the equation of the line p: ax-2y+1=0, determine the coefficient a so that the line p:
a) it formed an angle of 120° with the positive direction of the x-axis,
b) passed through point A[3,-2],
c) was parallel to the x-axis,
d) had a direction of k = 4.

Correct answer:

a1 =  -3.4641
a2 =  -1.6667
a3 =  0
a4 =  8

Step-by-step explanation:
