Solution;

Given;

Line y=b

Also;

The line segment from (0,0) to (a,0) is also horizontal y=0

All possible angles subtended by the line y=b and the line segment would be show diagrammatically as;



Therefore;

Greatest angle is subtended at x=a2x=\frac{a}{2}

Therefore the point is;

P=(b,a2)P=(b,\frac{a}{2})
