Graphical Reasoning A line with slope $m$ passes through the point $(0,4)$ and has the equation $y=m x+4 .$ (a) Write the distance $d$ between the line and the point $(3,1)$ as a function of $m .$ (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function $d$ in part (a). (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function $d$ in part (a). Based on the graph, is the function differentiable at every value of $m ?$ If not, where is it not differentiable?
