In the following image you can see two lines "f" and "g" (with known formulas)
and a circle with a known radius (R=120) but unknown center
I must find the Coordinates for points B and C
Do you have any idea how i shall proceed?
PS
I tried to find the intersection point of the parallels of "f" and "g" offset 120 but i could not determine their formulas. Do you have any idea about that?

I do not see points "B and C" in the given diagram?1576589254186.png

One way to find a parallel, but offset by 120, line is to think about what happens at the y-axis intercept (do you know any angles?)...
