Which linear lines (y=mx +b), with a gradient m<0, will intersect cleanly with arcsin(sin^-1) and why. Trying to understand concept.

@HeeeHeee unfortunately I could not understand your question

sin^-1 needs an argument you have not specified that. As result It is not clear what your are writing as a result
sin^-1(x) is curve not a line.

There is no guarantee there is close form solution

mx + b = sin^-1(x)

Edit try solvng by inspection.

If b >0 the intersection will be in the first quadrant

if b<0 the intersection will be in the third quadrant.

There infinite number of lines that can meet the criteria of intersection over m, b
