Given the function:


f(x)=2cos(3x-(5\pi)/(6))-2

You need to remember that the General Equation of the Cosine Function is:


y=Acos(B(x+C))+D

Where:

- The Amplitude is:


|A|

- The Period is:


(2\pi)/(B)

- The horizontal shift is "C".

- The Vertical Shift is "D".

- The midlline is:


y=D

In this case, you can identify that:


D=-2

Therefore, the midline is:
