Nomogram for probabilities

I am trying to find a nomogram for the following equation: $$F(a,b,c) = k(c-a)-(c-b)^2 = 0$$ where $k$ is a constant. I can rewrite it as: $$(c^2 + kc) - ka -2bc + b^2 =0.$$ This has four or five linearly-independent terms and three variables (so…

Nomogram for family of lines

Assume I have an implicit function $F(x,y,z)=0$ which can be expressed as a family of lines, i.e. $$ F(x,y,z)=0 \quad\text{if and only if}\quad y=m(z)x+b(z) $$ for functions $m$ and $b$. Is it possible, for general $m$ and $b$, to put this relation…
